Using the land governance assessment framework (LGAF): lessons and next steps
Deininger, K., H. Selod & T. Burns
As a result of increased emphasis on measureable outputs rather than inputs and a recognition that outside support for economic development will be more effective if the policy and institutional framework is appropriate, empirically-based indicators of aggregate governance are now widely applied as tools for decision-makers that can point to specific areas for reform and monitor progress. Following a review of the challenges to be addressed for developing such indicators relevant to the land sector, we review the extent to which existing land indicators meet these requirements and draw conclusions regarding the desired nature of the indicators (for policy and diagnostic, combining qualitative with quantitative dimensions), their coverage (sufficiently broad to remain relevant in a variety of contexts), and the process for their assessment (empirically based but with ample involvement of civil society).
