The land registration measures appear to lead toward transformative social protection outcomes. Some of the development indicators are comparable to those of sub-Saharan Africa. Persistent levels of inequity in incomes, assets, education and health pose seemingly insurmountable challenges to reducing poverty and hunger in the region.
