IFAD’s support for land and natural resource tenure security

IFAD recognizes the importance of strengthening land tenure security as a key condition to ensure inclusive rural development and poverty eradication. As IFAD does not support stand-alone projects on land tenure, land-related interventions are typically integrated into broader components and activities.

In 2015, the Land Tenure desk undertook a stock-take based on a review of 240 IFAD-supported projects. The findings on IFAD's support in strengthening tenure security measures at global and regional levels are presented in 6 reports. These reports give an overview of tenure security issues and policy developments in the 5 regions where IFAD intervenes and a general overview of the stocktake for the global IFAD portfolio.
