Land Administration

Land and housing ownership are important assets for the poor and must be properly managed and administered to benefit them. SDG 1.4 aims to ensure that, by 2030, all men and women, in particular the poor and vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property. Currently, it is estimated that only 30 percent of the global population has legally registered rights to their land and homes. For both women and men, improving tenure security can have a positive influence on their household income, food security, and equity.
