Governance of land tenure

Land tenure governance refers to the systems and rules that determine who can use, own, or manage land, and under what conditions. It involves legal frameworks, policies, and institutions that regulate land rights, prevent disputes, and promote fair access. Effective governance ensures clarity, security, and sustainable use of land resources, balancing the interests of individuals, communities, and governments. Good land tenure governance reduces conflicts, encourages investment, and supports social and economic development by establishing transparent and equitable land management practices.
