Developing effective land administration systems is challenging.  They require financial resources and trained personnel, both of which are in short supply in most African countries.  Customary land administration arrangements and statutory systems are often disconnected, and reconciling the two in a manner that serves the rural poor, and land users generally, can be difficult.  Furthermore, weak land administration contributes to use of land for patronage purposes.
