The World Bank Land Conference has become one of the largest international events on land governance. It brings together over 1,500 participants from across the globe – including representatives from government, academia, civil society, and the private sector – to discuss new research, innovations, practices, and policies to strengthen land and resource governance.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) leads global engagement on land and resource governance through its expertise in advancing land tenure and property rights, programming to secure inclusive and equitable rights to land and natural resources for women and Indigenous Peoples, and addressing development challenges associated with critical minerals.
