Handling land : innovative tools for land governance and secure tenure

Everyone has a relationship to land, but not everyone's right to land is secure. The Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) recognizes that conventional ways of managing land are not realistically going to meet the needs of millions of people. This book features the “land tools” that GLTN  has developed – practical ways to solve problems in land administration and management. The emphasis is on practicality; users should be able to take a land tool and apply it (or adapt it) to their own situation. The book also emphasizes a number of values such as gender-responsiveness, affordability, grassroots and youth engagement, that are needed to ensure a land tool benefits the poor and disadvantaged and is available to use at large-scale.
