Resource information
This table provides a listing of official documents required for the legal recognition of land tenure rights and land transactions. The database covers 68 countries in the world, including most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This database was prepared for national statistical organizations, research institutes and others undertaking population surveys on land tenure. It will enable them to prepare questionnaires and facilitate the coding of land documents reported by respondents. Correct measurement of the proportion of land with 'legally recognized documentation” by land holder is required for reporting on SDG indicator 1.4.2. The database will be useful also for analyzing regulatory frameworks, identify options for streamlining, and prepare interventions around the regularization and registration of land rights.
