Resource information
In the framework of Prindex, the Global Land Alliance (GLA) conducts regular global surveys on the perception of land tenure security in more than 100 countries, amplified by in-depth country- and region-specific studies of tenure security. Since 2016, these have been implemented in Brazil, Burkina Faso, Colombia, India, Nigeria and Tanzania. Several countries, including Tanzania and the United Kingdom, and international organizations such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, use Prindex data to report on U.N. Sustainable Development Goal 1.4.2., which covers land rights.
Prindex is supported by funds from the European Commission granted to the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and managed by the International Land Coalition as part of the Global Data Partnership.
The Prindex initiative welcomes all stakeholders to use this unique dataset to inform local action addressing the causes of insecure land and property rights. It can also be used to identify what policies and additional research is needed to improve security of property rights at the regional, national and subnational levels.
The Prindex data are free to download and use for non-commercial purposes. It is available on the Prindex website along with information on how the data are collected and answers to frequently asked questions.
