Gender Evaluation Criteria. Gender Evaluation Criteria A four-module course designed to deliver key land and gender evaluation skills. Teaching Essentials for Responsible Land Administration. Teaching Essentials for Responsible Land Administration This Structured Knowledge Base is designed to support flexible use in a range of academic teaching, training and research activities. Social Tenure Domain Model. Land-based Finance. Land-based Finance Instructional videos on a range of tools by which local authorities can leverage land to expand their revenue base, to finance urban development and the delivery of essential services to all.

The Network develops, disseminates and implements pro-poor and gender-responsive Land Tools. These tools and approaches contribute to land reform, good land governance, inclusive land administration, sustainable land management, and functional land sector coordination. Conventional approaches to land administration often fail to deliver the systemic and inclusive change urgently required, especially for the poor and vulnerable.

GLTN advocates for the recognition of a broader range of land rights and relationships to land including tenure security. These include individual, informal, customary, or group rights. Recognition of this important reality is at the heart of our work. Last Updated: 26th July by Gemma. The Global Land Tool Network GLTN is an alliance of global regional and national partners contributing to poverty alleviation through land reform, improved land management and security of tenure particularly through the development and dissemination of pro-poor and gender-sensitive land tools.

Consultant Lead Evaluator and Consultant Land Expert — these two positions make up an independent team that will conduct a Mid-Term Review, a critical activity that will seek to establish the progress made in the implementation of the GLTN Phase 2 Programme While there are many examples of good land policies, there are few policies that have been fully implemented due to lack of pro-poor, gendersensitive and largescale land tools.

Further, conventional land titling approaches have largely failed to deliver their expected results since existing technical solutions are too expensive, inappropriate for the range of tenure found in developing countries, unsustainable financially or in terms of available capacity, and instead a range of land tenure options is more appropriate.

Consequently, GLTN's core values and principles are founded in the development of land tools that are:. GLTN has developed a global partnership on land issues pulling together global partners, as well as many individual members. These partners include international networks of civil society, International Finance Institutions, international research and training institutions, donors and professional bodies.

It continues to take a more holistic approach to land issues by working towards the following objectives:. Value, and its attribution to unregistered land, is important information for effective land acquisition, taxation and transfer processes and a key component of land administration systems.

This report summarizes the background, achievements and emerging outcomes of the Securing Access to Land and Resources SALaR project implemented towards improving land and natural resources tenure security for rural poor smallholder farmers, including women, men, youth and vulnerable groups in Uganda, Philippines and Laos.

SDGs range from poverty eradication, zero hunger, decent work and reduced inequalities to quality education, clean water and sanitation, and gender equality, only to name some of them. A lack of capacity in the land management and administration is a key reason that land policies are not effectively implemented in many countries and, indeed, is a reason that those policies are inappropriate or become outdated. This Guide outlines a process for assessing the capacity of the land management and administration system in a country as a whole, or just part of it for example, just the land-valuation system, or the land management and administration system of a particular local authority.

Concerns over food insecurity in developing countries are reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by Given that land plays an important role in the livelihoods of most people in developing countries, food security and poverty reduction cannot be achieved unless issues of access to land, security of tenure, and the capacity to use land productively and in a sustainable manner are addressed.
