The right to adequate housing and the peaceful enjoyment of private property are fundamental human rights. Yet, globally, the accessibility and security of these rights remain unequal and unsustainable.

The World Bank Land Conference has catalyzed the global land community for over 20 years, and we are pleased to announce that we will relaunch this premier event May 13-17, 2024, in Washington, DC under the annual theme of “Securing Land Tenure and Access for Climate Action.” |
Please join the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Global Land Alliance, and Prindex for a virtual webinar on Wednesday, October 11th, 10 – 11:30 am EDT, to discuss findings from an assessment of alternative survey instruments for measuring perceived tenure security.
Strengthening security of tenure is considered a key outcome of the LAND-at-scale program as a pre-condition to improved livelihoods, resilience, and sustainable resource use. LAND-at-scale interventions employ a range of tools to achieve tenure security, in particular land mapping and registration. Despite the popularity of such interventions, the assumptions underpinning the impact pathways from registration to tenure security and derived outcomes such as improved livelihoods are not always built on a solid evidence base.

Secure land tenure is a tool of empowerment. It leads to productive land investments, increased autonomy to make decisions over land by women, men and communities contributing to higher incomes. The co-relationship between secure land tenure and increased food production is central to tackle hunger.
Land and property rights are an essential to building just and equitable societies. Yet Prindex data shows that more than 1 in 4 people living in the Middle East and North Africa fear for these rights – a higher proportion than anywhere else in the world.
