Mali to hold national discussion on housing

Housing - The Malian Ministry of Housing, Real Estate and Town Planning will from 7 to 11 December hold nationwide talks in Bamako on real estate, official sources told PANA.

Those talks aim particularly to work out, by common consensus, the driving force for a new policy to reform real estate in Mali.

In addition, the talks aim to set up an equitable, sustainable state-owned land management system, easy to be implemented and which is based on the non-controversial coexistence of modern law and customary law regarding real estate.

In Mali, land has always been an important economic and social stake as well as for the state.

The country has had an electoral and land code since 1986,.

This legal framework is at the moment going through difficulties of application, although it recognizes the customary laws on land, takes into consideration decentralization, institutes land registry and sets the conditions and procedures for registration, acquisition and building expropriation.
