The Land Portal published a new country portfolio for Algeria. The country portfolios examine how countries govern their land, the challenges they face, and the innovative solutions they find to manage land tenure issues. Each portfolio comes with a detailed description of the land governance context and a collection of related blogs, news, publications, statistical datasets and more.
Advancing women's land rights on International Women's Day 2025
On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the intersection of land rights and gender equity through a compilation of resources featured on the Land Portal’s platform. Women’s access to and control over land is fundamental to achieving sustainable development, economic empowerment, and social justice. However, despite international commitments, structural barriers continue to hinder women’s full participation in land governance.
Support the Land Portal
The past few weeks have been critical (and uncertain!) for those of us fighting for the core principles of accountability, transparency, and due process. The Land Portal is proud to be part of this important work, providing the tools and resources needed to ensure land rights are protected and governance is strengthened through transparency and accessibility.
Equitable Digital Development: A Call To Action for Development Partners on Open Data Day
Development organizations that, in principle, support open data should focus more on releasing project-generated data for others to analyze and re-use. Producing written reports in the middle or end of project cycles is good practice, but not enough to maximize the knowledge captured from projects or for independent audits by third parties. This applies particularly to projects with land governance objectives, as governments – the usual custodians of land-related data – are only minimally opening these datasets up to the public.

Global Action for Land
The Global Action for Land (GAL) is an open and inclusive initiative uniting diverse actors around a shared goal: securing land tenure rights for all and elevating land governance as a central pillar of global development, climate action, and social justice.
GAL is not a formal organization or institution — it’s a space, platform, and campaign for collaboration, advocacy, and accountability.

Executive Summary
Tenure security is a critical foundation for human development, for prosperity, and the health and sustainability of our planet. Tenure security and good land governance protects the rights of land users and facilitates a long-term relationship with land that enables sustainable land use and sustained investment in land. It promotes peace, stability and inclusive growth; it protects the poor and empowers women and marginalized groups such as indigenous peoples and local communities; it helps protect nature and allows for a healthy planet.
