WHY PRO POOR LAND TOOLS

• Urban Policy, tenure, LA, land management, land
  tax and land re-distribution are inter-linked
  when applied to urban planning and slums.
  Preventing slum development, doing upgrading
  requires a systematic approach with innovate,
  affordable and gendered tools.
• Rural Rights, reform, affordable land tenure and
  LA are critical for food security and
  agricultural productivity. Sound LM and LA key to
  combat overuse of grazing land.
