Land governance is central to this shift. People differ over how to obtain tenure security and even what effective or successful land governance looks like. Many “land governance” programmes focus on land regularization through technical land administration, such as improving cadastres and titling procedures; the underlying thinking is most often shaped by ideals of private land ownership. Land tenure and land governance research that is embedded and co-created with partners can help secure rights and livelihoods for Indigenous Peoples, local communities and smallholders over time. Good reads include the Ground Rules blog series and a recent piece by Esther Obaikol on land governance in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS).
