Abstract
Located in West Africa, the Ivory Coast is an independent country (from France) in 1960. Since then, it has experienced strong demographic growth (until 1998) which, added to a significant migration of foreigners has subsequently led to community tensions due to the scarcity of resources. Thus, the rural land domain was the nest of several types of conflict resulting in the serious military-political crisis that the country experienced from 2002 to 2010. Today, land therefore represents for the Ivory Coast one of the major challenges for social peace, stability and economic development. As a result, the State has made land tenure security a national priority, by implementing important mechanisms to allow the application of the law on rural land in order to transform customary laws into property rights. To achieve these objectives, an assessment of the land structure as well as of the land governance policy adopted was carried out in 2016 using the land governance analysis framework. The objective of this work is to automate this framework of analysis of land governance to update the state of land governance in Ivory Coast. The update of the state of land governance in Ivory Coast was carried out through a round table during which the online platform of the Land Governance Analysis Framework tool was used for the assessment of the dimensions. It made it possible to retrieve the opinions of Ivorian experts, who used it from their home in Ivory Coast, by continuing to update the state of land governance. This platform is a real innovation in the analysis of land governance by the Land Governance Analysis Framework tool. The panel organized as part of our end of study project made it possible to analyze the concepts discussed, where experts and panelists presented their experiences, the real situation and the practices in force in Ivory Coast. This shows that overall, from 2016 to 2020, the Ivorian land situation has not changed.
