The importance of ILGs is to safeguard customary landowners from land grabbing, which is on the rise.
“By registering your land under an ILG, you will be recognised by the State to secure that piece of land by having a title so that any developer has to negotiate with the clan,” ILG manager for Southern and New Guinea Islands Max Wagi explained.
The clan will be able to sub-lease their land and will be able to benefit from development services.
