In Togo, the land new code takes into consideration both socio-economic and cultural challenges recorded in Togo, correcting inconsistencies inherited from the previous code. The document aims at making land transactions safer, but also tackles land speculation and expropriation.
Moreover, it proposes a battery of innovative answers to foster agricultural development, and boost State's revenues through the establishment of a single land desk. More importantly, the code aims to deal with multiple registration of one land, construction in flood-prone areas, sell-off of rural lands, and attract foreign investors.
