Ghana Lands in Focus (ePub)

Land can be defined as that solid surface (dry land) of the Earth which is not covered by a body of water. It has a fundamental separation from water on the planet. Land is the most powerful asset in the world due to its high demand rate in all aspect of development. Ghana, having a total land size of 238, 539 square kilometres is rich in land and natural resources. The country's political and material strength and sustainable development is therefore built on such asset.

This book seeks to address the bottlenecks in acquiring right to land in Ghana and provide solution for the way forward. Equity of land, land ownership, land right and the tenure system in Ghana has been explained. The various processes involved in acquiring a parcel of land (from purchase to title/deed registration) have been elaborated. Where and how to get a land free from encumbrances for all sort of socio-economic development has also been established. Introductions to the cadaster system, deed and title registration in Ghana have been reviewed. The land enterprise in Ghana has a lot of challenges as a result of rapid urbanization, high demand-driven in the land market and weak institutional framework. These challenges have been reviewed in this book with recommended solutions.
