Current Recognition of the multi-disciplinary and cross-cutting nature of land issues has led a number of countries actively to debate this topic and in many cases to initiate pilots or pass innovative pieces of legislation. However, PRSP's and equivalent strategy documents, especially in Africa and South Asia, hardly mention land issues, implying a serious risk that the opportunity may be missed and little progress be made in terms of either implementing highly appropriate legislation or in carefully evaluating and drawing appropriate lessons from pilots.
