Guichets Fonciers Communaux
Issue local land certificates recognising occupation without full titling.
What this authority does
Madagascar's 2005-2006 land reform created these communal land desks to issue certificats foncierss — a cheaper, locally administered alternative to the colonial-era Torrens title, and one of Africa's more studied attempts to formalise customary occupation at scale.
