WHY PRO POOR LAND TOOLS
• Urban: Policy, tenure, LA, land management, land tax and land re-distribution are inter-linked when applied to urban planning and slums. Preventing slum development, doing upgrading requires a systematic approach with innovate, affordable and gendered tools.
• Rural: Rights, reform, affordable land tenure and LA are critical for food security and agricultural productivity. Sound LM and LA key to combat overuse of grazing land.
