This webinar will explore how a people-centered and holistic approach can revolutionize Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA) and ensure that land administration truly serves the needs of communities. By prioritizing the voices of local people, particularly women, youth, and marginalized groups, we can create land administration systems that are not only efficient but also just and inclusive.

Global

Secure land rights for all—women and men, regardless of ethnicity or religion, or civil, economic, social, or political status—are foundational for achieving a world free of poverty, hunger, and systematic gender discrimination. So, in 2015, we celebrated when world leaders recognized the critical importance of land rights within Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
