| dc.description.abstract | Tenure issues relating to land have always been a major area of conflict in northern Ghana. The role of Traditional Institutions within this conflict arena is becoming more and more protracted. In this article I discuss policy issues on land within the Ghanaian landscape. From policy issues, I move into discussions on ownership and access to land. In the process, I highlight the role of Traditional Institutions in perpetuating denial and/or restricted ownerships and access. 1 conclude by restating the role of land as a natural resource that is critical in supporting rural livelihoods. Hence, the need to creatively manage land, which is dwindling while population is on the ascendancy. This requires strong policy support. | en_US |
