Policy note (June 2021) outlining how Nigeria can implement the Framework for Responsible and Inclusive Land-Intensive Agriculture (FRILIA). It explains the unique development role of land and the social, environmental, and economic risks of land-based investments, then links FRILIA to internationally negotiated guidance (VGGT and CFS-RAI). The note details four FRILIA pillars—overarching transparency and policy consistency, recognition and protection of land rights, state land acquisition and resettlement, and environmental and social sustainability—plus concrete goals, actions, and mechanisms to manage conflicts and safeguard communities.

Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disc losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized NIGERIA shutterstock LAND REFORMS TO FACILITATE RESPONSIBLE AGRIBUSINESS INVESTMENTS Policy note, June 2021 2 I page Land Reforms to Facilitate Responsible Agribusiness Investments This note aims to discuss the critical elements and steps to implement the Framework for Responsible and Inclusive Land-Intensive Agriculture (FRILIA). The note draws upon the experience of World Bank-financed projects1 that are developing and implementing FRILIA in Kaduna and Ogun States, and borrows significantly from a technical note2 prepared to support FRILIA in Kaduna. Role of Land in Development and Risks of Land-Based Investments Key message \# 1. Land plays a unique role in human and economic development by providing the fundamental natural resource for agricultural production, industrial development and physical infrastructure. However, land-based investments are often risky due to various social, environmental, and economic factors. Regulators and investors bear the responsibility to mitigate the risks and promote sustainable investments that generate widely shared benefits. 1 The $350 million Kaduna State Economic Transformation Program-for-Results (PforR), and the $250 million Ogun State Economic Transformation Project. 2 Towards Responsible Agricultural Investment in Kaduna State: Implementing the FRILIA Principles. Land Reforms to Facilitate Responsible Agribusiness Investments page I 3 The Framework for Responsible and Inclusive Land-Intensive Agriculture (FRILIA) Key message \# 2. FRILIA aims to guide land administration in a manner that would maximize the role of land in development while effectively mitigating the risks of land-based investments. FRILIA is applicable to all forms of land use beyond agricultural purposes. FRILIA derives from two internationally negotiated agreements on responsible land-based investments: (i) the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Tenure of Land, Fisheries, and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT); and (ii) the UN Committee on World Food Security’s Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI) . FRILIA principles are organized into the following four pillars: 1. Overarching principles to ensure that investments occur transparently and are consistent with and contribute to policy objectives such as poverty reduction, food security and job creation. 2. Principles on recognizing and protecting land rights, including rights rooted in statutory law, customary and traditional tenure systems. 3. Principles on state land acquisition and resettlement. 4. Principles related to ensuring environmental and social sustainability. The four pillars of FRILIA principles aim to achieve the following goals: 1. Create an enabling environment for investments and improve investor confidence, thus mitigating conflicts arising from competing claims on land allocated to investors. 2. Facilitate sustainable economic development and growth rooted in environmental and social stability. FRILIA enables complementary investments on land in growth clusters (e.g., agribusiness, roads, waste management, educational institutions) and observes established environmental and social safeguards. 3. Protect the rights and economic opportunities of local communities to ensure they benefit optimally from large-scale investments, thus enhancing shared prosperity and broadbased welfare gains from land-based investments. 4. Enable participation of all stakeholders in decision making on land acquisition and utilization. This approach facilitates capacity building and transfer of technical knowhow to local communities and empowers communities to participate in their own development. 5. Establish mechanisms for accountability of government institutions by providing toolkitsand checklists to formalize the decision process on land acquisition and allocation
