Land governance in Latin America and the Caribbean

Innovation and inclusion for economic recovery and resilience

The effects of the crisis generated by the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve and hit our societies hard. In the case of LAC, land tenure is at the heart of its development; this issue like no other has caused wars, displacement, social conflicts, corruption, hunger and poverty. In particular, extreme inequality in access to and control of land is one of the great unsolved problems in LAC; it is at the same time the cause and consequence of highly polarized social structures that have fed and continue to feed the political crises that are currently suffering greatly in their countries. With public policies that continue to ignore this structural challenge, it will not be possible to reduce the economic and social inequality that the pandemic has only come to reveal and exacerbate with greater brutality, and neither will it be possible to achieve the recovery with transformation echoed by speeches today from various sectors.
