To date the highlight achievement of the LPI has been the development of a Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G), adopted by the African Ministers responsible for land in April 2009, and further endorsed by African Heads of State and Government through a Declaration on Land Issues and Challenges in Africa during the 13th Assembly of the African Union in July 2009. During this Session, the Heads of States and Government of the AU resolve to 'ensure that land laws provide for equitable access to land and related resources among all land users including the youth and other landless and vulnerable groups such as displaced persons.'
