About Us
We envision a world in which land governance systems, both formal and informal, are effective, accessible, and responsive for all. This is possible when land tenure and property rights are recognized as critical development issues and when the United States Government and its development partners demonstrate consistent attention and a firm commitment to supporting coordinated policies and programs that clarify and strengthen the land tenure and property rights of all members of society, enabling broad-based economic growth, gender equality, reduced incidence of conflicts, enhanced food security, improved resilience to climate change, and effective natural resource management.
Mission Statement
The USAID Land Tenure and Resource Management (LTRM) Office will lead the United States Government to realize international efforts—in accordance with the U.S. Government’s Land Governance Policy—to clarify and strengthen the land tenure and property rights of all members of society—individuals, groups and legal entities, including those individuals and groups that are often marginalized, and the LTRM Office will help ensure that land governance systems are effective, accessible, and responsive. We will achieve this by testing innovative models for securing land tenure and property rights and disseminating best practice as it relates to securing land rights and improving resource governance within the USG and our development partners.

International Development Support Project: Support for International Advisory Group (IAG) on 'Ecological Conse
General
The International Advisory Group on Ecological Conservation Redlines (IAG) mobilizes technical expertise from international organizations working with Chinese institutions to support interested countries in developing locally appropriate variants of spatial land-use planning frameworks, learning from China’s experiences with Ecological Conservation Redlines (ECRL) and similar approaches elsewhere. This involves both scientific mapping of locally appropriate dimensions for ECRL (e.g., biodiversity, ecosystem services (including carbon), disaster risk reduction) as well as the design of locally appropriate policy mechanisms, social safeguards, and institutions to prepare and implement ECRL.
Objectives
The objective of this work is to support ambitious outcomes of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15 and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change COP26, including the integration of nature and climate drawing on China’s experience with Ecological Conservation Red Lines.
