Oxfam
This website was created in January 2000 with relatively modest expectations. It was intended in part to publicise Oxfam GB’s own work and that of its partners and allies on land rights in Africa at a time of considerable activity in the area of policy and law making on land in many African countries. We felt that there was a need to present and disseminate arguments in favour of pro-poor land reform in a context in which the rich and powerful tend to control both power and information.

PLAAS
Plaas is a constituent unit of the University of the Western Cape's School of Government, and was initiated in 1995, with a core grant from the Ford Foundation. The initial objectives of the programme were to build capacity in the land and agrarian reform sector, to expand the number of black social scientists working in the sector, and to engage in policy-relevant research in support of the post-apartheid government's new land reform programme. Soon after its establishment, PLAAS began to provide short course training to government and NGO staff, in collaboration with the Land Tenure Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. It fosters critical scholarship on land and agrarian issues and seeks to support processes of social, political and economic transformation within South and southern Africa.
DRFN
