Land Management in Benin: When Will the ADC Return?

The suspension of the Certificate of Customary Ownership (ADC) for over two years complicates land security for many Beninese citizens, especially in rural areas. This certificate, which facilitated the recognition of customary rights, was suspended due to fraud and irregularities. Administrative processes are now stalled, leaving many buyers uncertain about the protection of their properties. Land is crucial in Benin, representing a lever for family security and economic development.
