GeoTech for Tenure
01/01/2024
The GeoTech for Tenure joint FAO/IFAD initiative connects leading land and geospatial experts and tenure specialists with regional and local partners and stakeholders to provide practical guidance in developing and implementing solutions tailored to the unique national contexts and realities found within local projects. Through technical guidelines, virtual workshop programs and in-country technical support, it provides a broad range of services to ensure that participants are better equipped to mainstream inclusive development approaches and select the most appropriate technologies to suit their needs. In 2022-23 this included a focus to improve the access to natural resources and securing tenure rights for women, customary communities and Indigenous Peoples. FAO is building capacity among member states and key partners to leverage emerging geospatial technologies' power to secure equitable access to land for rural communities. This rapidly developing field holds the potential to provide cost-effective solutions to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of land tenure governance and land management policies and systems, and ultimately improve the lives of those who depend on the land for their livelihoods.
