flag Ghana’s new land reforms require 70% upfront payment, mandate ministerial approval, and launch a digital system to boost transparency and revenue.

flag Ghana has implemented sweeping land reforms requiring 70% of a public land’s assessed market value to be paid upfront, with the rest as ground rent, to boost revenue and prevent undervaluation. flag The changes, approved by Cabinet, include mandatory ministerial approval for all allocations, a revised electronic Form Five application, standardized nationwide land values, and the publication of over 8,000 reviewed land applications starting with Greater Accra. flag A national digital land system, funded by 67% of the Lands Commission’s internally generated funds, will modernize records and reduce human error. flag The reforms follow a temporary pause on land transactions and aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public land management.
