The USAID Angola’s Strengthening Land Tenure and Property Rights Project is managed by ARD and
with implementation assistance from its partners, Development Workshop (DW) and the Rural
Development Institute (RDI). The Project continues USAID-Angola’s support to land reform and land
rights strengthening begun in 2004 as part of its assistance to the Government of Angola.
The Project grew out of the need to strengthen land tenure and property rights in Angola following the
passage of the Land Law and Territory Law (August 2004) and the transfer of the Land Law
implementing Regulations to the Government of Angola Cabinet for review and approval (August 2006).
These draft regulations were approved in late August 2007.
