The land challenge is central to the broader youth dynamics of migration, employment, livelihoods and belonging. The more than 1.8 billion youth living worldwide represent not only a land challenge, but an untapped potential in moving the tenure security agenda forward. Recognizing this, the Global Land Tool Network has partnered with UN-Habitat to develop youth responsive land tools through the Youth-led Action Research on Land program. Five action research projects will be undertaken by youth organizations in Brazil, Kenya, Nepal, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

The law prohibits the purchase and sale of land in Ethiopia.

Land lies at the heart of social, political and economic life in much of rural
Africa. It provides a major source of livelihoods, income and employment; a
basis for social and political relations; and has major historical, cultural and
spiritual significance. In many places, rapid socio-economic changes are
undermining the security of land access for poorer and more vulnerable
groups – particularly in high-value lands such as peri-urban areas, irrigated
schemes and fertile lands. Securing land access for these groups is
