Program description
The aim of this module is to provide participants with broad knowledge, tools and skills to strengthen land governance issues while implementing policy frameworks for sustainable development.
Land remains a highly complex issue, and often forms a cause for conflict at regional, national, local and personal level in view of its value as an economic resource in relation to social, political, cultural and often religious systems. The failure to adopt, at all levels, appropriate (urban and rural) land policies and land management practices remains a primary cause of inequity and poverty. The consequences often take the form of difficult access to land Information, unawareness of land policies and legal frameworks, ignorance about land transactions and prices, misallocation of land rights, land grabbing and abuse. Many of the general governance principles thus appear highly relevant to the management and administration of land. When in place, this in turn strengthens confidence in governments and public agencies, and has a positive economic impact, also on economic development.
The main aim of this advanced module is to provide the participants with the broad knowledge, tools and skills to strengthen land governance issues while implementing policy frameworks for sustainable development in developing and emerging countries.
