Designing and Implementing a Pro-Poor Land Recordation System
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: The challenges to tenure security in both urban and rural areas are not only large, but they are increasing due to the different types of pressures making land more and more scarce. There is growing acceptance that only by recognizing and supporting a continuum of land rights, can tenure security be reached for all people in an inclusive way.\nGLTN’s partner network began implementing this vision in 2006 with the development of land tools, 18 of which have now been designed and tested, and are increasingly implemented at scale. The pro-poor land recordation system outlined in this publication is one of these tools, and is designed to be implemented on its own or, better, in combination with other land tools to reach inclusive tenure security.\n“Designing and Implementing a Pro-Poor Land Recordation System” aims to fill gaps in the development of new forms of land recordation and is intended to assist the implementation of a continuum of land rights approach at scale. It is about the design of a pro-poor land recordation system - a recording system aimed at supporting the recognition and protection of a range of rights of the poor, in particular women,\nyouth and vulnerable groups.\nThis publication emphasizes a co-management approach in which the community has a greater role in the design and management of the system. The design also highlights affordability, legitimacy and credibility as key requirements for success.
