UNU-ITC School for Land Administration Studies
Land is at the basis of all societies. Inappropriate land policies can constitute a serious constraint on economic and social development. Sound land policy regulates the access to land and the management of land, and as such is considered an important factor in the realisation of government policy objectives pertaining to, for example, economic growth, food security, poverty reduction and housing.
