Land GovernanceLand governance and property rights are intrinsically linked to poverty reduction, to the full realization of human rights and to gender equality. Effective control over resources, especially land, by the poor and disadvantaged is crucial for their capacity to overcome poverty. Moreover democratic pro poor land governance and property rights are essential to sustainable environmental management and to the prevention of conflict.
OGC Publication Series on Land GovernanceAs part of OGC’s research agenda the following briefs and discussion papers explore the linkages between land policies and democratic governance. The briefs summarize debates on key issues of democratic governance of land, recognizing land not only as an economic asset for poverty reduction but also as part of intricate social relations and power structures. The discussion papers provide fresh understandings of state-society interactions for pro-poor land policy. They also raise issues of gender and conflict in multiple property systems and customary traditions. With these briefs and papers, the Oslo Governance Centre invites other views on and country experiences with successful (and not so successful) interventions to enhance democratic governance of land.
