“Secure land tenure transforms dormant assets into active capital—unlocking access to credit, encouraging investment, and spurring entrepreneurship.
These are the building blocks of job creation and economic growth.
When landowners have secure property rights, they invest more in their land.
Existing data shows that with secure property rights, agricultural output increases by 40% on average.
This has enabled a five-fold increase in the number of land certificates delivered in just five years compared to the previous 20 years.”From World Bank.
