Land Tenure and Property Rights Training Videos

Rights to land and resources are at the center of our most pressing development issues: Secure land and property rights create incentives for investment, broad-based economic growth, and good stewardship of natural resources. Insecure property rights and weak land governance systems often provoke conflict and instability, which can trap communities, countries, and entire regions in a cycle of poverty.

USAID has produced nine training videos to provide an overview of the ways that land tenure and property rights issues intersect with other sectors including economic growth, food security, conflict, urbanization, gender equality, climate change, and resilience.

Modules

MODULE # 1: Introduction to Land Tenure and Property Rights

This film--first in a series of nine training modules--introduces ways in which land tenure and property rights issues intersect with those relating to economic growth, food security, natural resource management, climate change, and conflict.
