Validating Land Claims in Zambia

Standing in her newly demarcated field, Josephine Phiri (center) holds a receipt that validates her claim to her most important asset: this piece of land. Ms. Phiri has just guided Alice Mvula (right) and Samuel Phiri (left) on a “boundary walk” along the borders of her land. Ms. Mvula recorded the boundaries and information about the parcel with a hand-held GPS as part of a USAID-supported customary land certification program in Zambia’s Eastern Province. Soon, Ms. Phiri will be issued a customary land certificate, documenting her rights to this parcel of land.
