Handling Land: Innovative tools for land governance and secure tenure

This book shows how the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) is setting an international agenda on land through a global network of partners. This agenda focuses specifically on the concerns of poor women and men. It is developing a set of “land tools” that
are practical ways to solve problems in land administration and management, and that are affordable and capable of being scaled up to be used in the whole country.

The Global Land Tool Network was established in 2006, and has just completed its first phase of operations towards ensuring that urban and rural poor have better access to land and security of tenure. This book celebrates the Network’s achievements so far and outlines its global mandate to continue developing land tools for equitable access to land for all.
