After 30 years of an authoritarian regime, Sudan reached a power-sharing deal between the military and the civilians that brought a transitional government to power in 2019. Their agenda was to lead the country towards a democratic transformation for no more than three years.

These rights are not prejudiced by their lack of titling or documentation and may be defended on the basis of oral testimony.
The Land Portal Foundation's 2023 Annual Report presents a comprehensive overview of our efforts and accomplishments in transforming land data governance worldwide.
Our report highlights three fundamental pillars that have guided our work: Inform, Open, and Debate. Through these pillars, we've expanded our global database of land and property rights programs, enhanced land governance data management, supported data literacy and advocacy, and facilitated critical debates on land governance issues.
This is the dataset from 26.03.2024 of Land Portal's Projects Database - a dataset curated by the Land Portal's team. The dataset includes information about +3,800 development projects with objectives related to land governance. Most of the projects have been sourced from the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), and some have been provided directly by donor or implementing organizations. A number of projects may have a broader scope, e.g.
Land information is critical for equitable land governance that benefits the most vulnerable and drives economic growth, sustainable development, and food security. However, land data and information sources remain highly fragmented, unstructured and do not present the full range of perspectives needed for decision making. Land governance, (laws, processes, and institutions) regulate how decisions concerning land are made, implemented, and enforced and require the best possible land data and information.
