Four main areas of focus will form the basis for outputs and activities of this programme:

Resource Mobilisation and Policy Support:

The Facility will mobilise expertise mainly from the region and financial resources from donor sources and pool them to assist SADC countries to review, formulate or reform their national land and agrarian policies.

Capacity Building:

The main focus will be to build capacity in governments and civil society organisations involved in land issues. Training needs assessments, staff exchange/attachment programmes and direct training of personnel will be established at policy and technical levels, especially in land use planning, surveying, valuation, estate management and law.

Information:

Information generation and analysis through various ways including research and studies will be critical to the operation of the Facility. Information gathering/acquisition will be done at regional level through national nodes. The Facility will co-ordinate the management of such information and establishes a regional and national database and website.

Research Studies:

In order to provide knowledge and analysis on land issues in the region, researches and consultant studies will be commissioned at country and regional levels, harnessing local technical skills and minimizing the use of external consultants.
