Government Welcomes Private Sector Participation in Land Administration Reforms – Bawumia

Government is calling on the private sector to take an active part in the ongoing reforms in the administration of Ghana’s lands in order to make the process more efficient and effective.

Unlike in the past, where Government was solely in charge of land administration in Ghana, the Nana Akufo-Addo government envisions a public-private partnership, with both parties contributing their quota to the entire process.

The Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, extended the invitation when he gave the Keynote Address at a Market Sounding Event towards Private Sector Participation in the next phase of Ghana’s land administration reforms in Accra on Monday 30th April, 2018.

The Market Sounding is the latest of a series of fora spearheaded by Vice President Bawumia to craft and implement reforms in Ghana’s chaotic land administration regime.

“Government is looking at a new paradigm to improve our land administration system. Government is creating space for the Private Sector to be involved in land administration service delivery. This is not merely because of an allegiance to a political philosophy, but because of our genuine belief that the Private Sector will add considerable value to our land administration reform processes.

“As stakeholders in the arena of land administration, you must be aware that land is an asset of considerable value. Therefore, creating the opportunity for private capital, technology and expertise to be injected offers a unique business opportunity. I entreat you to unleash your innovative and creative abilities so that you can take advantage of this window of opportunity,” Dr Bawumia urged.

Despite the central role of land administration to economic development, the state of land administration in Ghana leaves much to be desired, despite several attempts including 15 years of the Land Administration project.
