New Report Identifies Opportunities for PPPs in Land Administration

Secure land, property rights, and strong land administration institutions are critical for economic development and are an important element of inclusive, resilient, and sustainable recovery from COVID-19. 

However, only a small portion of the world’s population enjoys secure property rights, leaving the majority with tenure insecurity. This exposes them to wide-ranging consequences—including eviction risk, reduced food productivity, and low investment. 

The World Bank is active in this space.  Last November, it released a new report, Public-Private Partnerships in Land Administration, which outlined a strategy for land administration and the role of the private sector.

The report provides an analytical and operational framework to help governments and development partners better understand how PPPs can improve land administration with private sector participation. It includes analytical assessments, operational tools, and approaches to risk mitigation that provide guidance to stakeholders seeking to improve land administration, a critical element of economic growth and sustainable development.

The report was prepared with support from PPIAF. Click here to download a PDF of the report.
