Secure land tenure

Secure land tenure refers to having a recognized legal or customary right to use, occupy, and transfer land without the threat of eviction or dispute. It provides individuals and communities confidence that their ownership or rights are protected, encouraging investment and sustainable land use. Securing land tenure reduces conflicts, promotes rural development, and enhances well-being by ensuring that land rights are clear, legitimate, and recognized by authorities. This stability is essential for economic growth, poverty reduction, and environmental management, fostering a sense of security and trust in land-related matters.
