1. Tenure atlas of the world
World Bank Conference
March 23th 2017

2. Why a tenure atlas?
It is estimated that 70% of the global land to people relationship are not recorded or registered. But how can this be measured, and how can registered land coverage be monitored. It is not only about land registration but also about tenure systems, institutions, land development, gender equality, concessions, taxation, land market, reference systems…. and the SDG’s and the Agenda 2030

3. Main Project Deliverables
Framework for land tenure atlas
List of themes covering the content
Analysis of required data and available data (content and format)
Proposals how to illustrate data by map, graphics, tables, etc
Prototype to probe the usefulness and relevance Atlas

4. How will the atlas framework be made?

9. Architecture of the atlas-system

10. Data sources Starting point: no new data acquisition
Available sources at world level:
Doing Business, LGAF, EBA, “Admin Data” (World Bank)
Land use report (OECD)
Global Land Indicators Initiative (GLTN)
Landportal.info
Available sources at national level:
Many sources free of use
Match required data (themes) and available data (sources) is rather poor:
Not the right data
Not the right coverage
Not in the proper format to make maps and infographics
NB: additional data acquisition might be desired at world or national level

12. Future steps to produce the atlas
First step in quite a complex project!
Important questions:
Who will fund and produce the atlas?
Who will host and maintain the atlas?
How to agree on the scope?
How will the data be acquired?
How will the project organisation look like?
