Produced as part of the researchers’ school organised in Senegal by IPAR, the Pôle Foncier de Montpellier and the Université Gaston Berger with the support of the CTFD, this factsheet reviews the direct and indirect instruments that can be used to regulate land markets.

It explains why state regulation is necessary but often insufficient, and the role that local bodies can play in establishing and enforcing rules governing transactions.
