Facilitate land tenure reform through the 
Africa
Land Policy Center 
The Bank will continue to support RMCs in addressing specific challenges in land 
administration and reform. Land, which is the dominant agricultural resource and forms 
the basis of subsistence and investment, will require particular attention. Policies on rights 
of access to, and responsibility for control over, land is central to understanding patterns 
of rural growth and stagnation, social inclusion, and geopolitical dynamics. The Bank will 
continue to support RMCs to create a proper institutional and policy environment for 
sound land management. An integral part of this is to ensure that the different pressures 
on land, including the recent surge in land speculation practices, are closely monitored and 
proper actions taken at the right time.

AFAWA Facility: 
establish a facility to promote women-owned MSMEs
The AfDB will improve women farmers’ incomes and social welfare by improving their 
access to credit for agriculture and agribusiness. The Affirmative Financing Action for 
Women (AFAWA) Facility will improve women’s access to credit by de-risking bank 
investments in women-owned agriculture and agribusiness enterprises, as commercial 
banks in Africa are currently hesitant to lend to women, who typically have little to no 
collateral given low levels of land tenure.
