Mapping and framing security of tenure 2013, para. 73
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Increased global demand for land implies an increased need for land policies that ensure tenure rights and equal access to land. Efforts to promote secure tenure must go hand in hand with improving the overall governance of land and protecting human rights. This is precisely the rationale behind the voluntary guidelines on land tenure mentioned above. Other guidance exists with regard to the governance of agricultural investments. Yet no such safeguards are in place for urban and housing investments.
