Training on Land Law and Tenure Security
Course Overview
Secure land tenure and clear legal frameworks are essential for economic development, social stability, and sustainable resource management. Weak land governance can lead to disputes, underutilization of resources, and reduced investment confidence.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge of land law, property rights, tenure security, dispute resolution mechanisms, and regulatory compliance. Participants will explore legal frameworks, customary and statutory tenure systems, conflict resolution, and policy design for secure land management.
The program emphasizes practical application, risk mitigation, and strategic decision-making to strengthen land governance. Case studies, simulations, and exercises enable participants to design frameworks that balance rights, responsibilities, and sustainable land use.
