Around 60 land governance practitioners, from six countries, will gather this week in Addis Ababa to explore how to make land governance more effective across Africa, for improved and sustainable land use. The opening ceremony of the Knowledge Exchange Workshop (KEW 2025) will be presided over by State Minister for Natural Resource Management Prof. Eyasu Elias from the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Agriculture. The event is part of German Development Cooperation, financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
The Global Programme on Responsible Land Policy (GPRLP) and the Programme Strengthening Advisory Capacities for Land Governance in Africa (SLGA), jointly organise this year’s workshop under the theme: “Making Responsible Land Governance Work in the future, together: From Insight to Impact through Learning, Exchange and Collaboration.”.
