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.

General
SilvaCarbon is a flagship U.S. interagency program that enhances capacity in more than 25 developing countries to gather, analyze, and use data to improve agricultural, forestry, and land management practices. The program disseminates U.S. scientific standards and methods, which strengthen evidence-based land use planning, and distributes innovative U.S. technology such as satellite and laser monitoring of forests. It provides essential training in forest and terrestrial carbon estimation methodologies to improve developing countries monitoring, reporting, and verification capacity and performance. This in turn helps ensure that countries achieve the same high reporting standards as the U.S. in the context of the UNFCCC, as well as improves performance in agricultural regions that are key suppliers for major U.S. companies.
