Land reform to take centre-stage at summit
Posted: Monday, August 12, 2002Herald, By Wisdom Mdzungairi
ZIMBABWE'S Land Reform Programme, expected to be emulated by most African countries as a means of ending poverty, will take centre-stage at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in South Africa later this month.
The discussion of the issue at the world summit might become a springboard to ending the world's discontent over agrarian land reforms in Africa.
Over 100 world leaders have confirmed their attendance at the summit.
United Nations Development Programme director of communications Mr Djibril Diallo told The Herald last week that the land redistribution issue and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) would be high on the agenda at the World Summit. MOREPrinter friendly version
