Chad officials regularize land ownership to prevent local conflicts

Ahmat Mahamat Makaïla, the director of the Cadastre at Chad's ministry of Land Planning, Urbanism and Habitat, manages a land regularization process to resolve ownership disputes.

The regularization process involves multiple departments and field inspections to verify land parcels. This procedure often addresses land acquired from traditional owners or local chiefs. Officials use these checks to provide formal recognition of property rights and reduce conflicts over land use in Chad.
