Global network for pro poor land tools
Augustinus, Clarissa
The land sector is made more complex by an emphasis on doing business as usual, conventional approaches and vested interests that resist change. Yet the land problems of this region, and in the world, keep expanding. One index of this is that we probably have 1 billion slum dwellers currently in the world. We in the land sector need to urgently develop new approaches that also address the issues of the poor and are gendered. If we do not do this we will not be able to deliver security of tenure to the majority of people in our country, also within the time limits set by the Millennium Development Goals, namely 2015 for rural land and 2020 for a proportion of urban land.
