Funding digital transformation of land administrationDigital transformation involves changing land administration systems from paper to 100 percent digital. It leads to greater activity and better efficiency in land markets, improves government revenues and stimulates growth. It delivers greater accountability, better transparency and service quality for all land stakeholders and reduces the potential for corrupt transactions. Providing secure funding for this transformation should be among every country’s priorities. This Brief offers clear, practical guidance to decision-makers and leaders on how to implement this essential process. |

Volunary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenureof Land, Fisheries and forests in the context of national food security The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development. |

Towards improved Land GovernanceLand Tenure Working Paper 11. This co-publication of FAO and UN-HABITAT seeks to better understand and define the processes, mechanisms and institutions of governance of tenure in rural and urban areas. The paper recognises that excellent land policies, laws and technical reforms have been developed. However, in many cases their implementation has slipped, stalled or even been reversed. By adopting a governance and political economy perspective, the paper offers insights for the design of reform s and for the development of land governance tools. |
