Over the past two decades, growing recognition of forest-based Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs) sparked forest tenure reforms to formalize IP and LC rights to forests and forest lands through a variety of mechanisms. Nevertheless, tenure security, an intended objective of such reforms, has received less attention, despite being integral to the life and livelihoods of IPs and LCs and important for forests.

Land Use Policy Volume 78
Peer-reviewed publicationNovember, 2018Indonesia, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Rwanda, United States of AmericaEconomists argue that land rent taxation is an ideal form of taxation as it causes no deadweight losses.

Evidence shows that women can benefit from having individualised land rights formalized in their names. However, similar evidence is not available for formalization of land rights that are based on collective tenure.
