Initially launched in 2015, the  Land Administration Toolkit for Latin America is relaunched with new features and enhanced user experience. The previous version attracted around 1,000 users each month, from across the globe. Its objective is to provide comprehensive resources to accompany the design, monitoring and evaluation of land administration programs in the region.

At COP 26 in Glasgow in 2021, governments and private donors made a historic commitment to pledge USD 1.7 billion in support of Indigenous Peoples and local communities from 2021 to 2025. 

The Regional Learning Cycle "Lessons Learned for Investment in the Delimitation and Recognition of Indigenous and Afro-descendant Territories in Latin America" was organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Land Coalition (ILC), and the Tenure Facility (TF).

In an endeavor to deepen understanding and foster new insights regarding land tenure rights of indigenous and Afro-descendant territories in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Land Coalition, and The Tenure Facility are collaborating to organize a series of thematic virtual seminars. This forum, tailored for ethnic organizations, government institutions, and cooperative agencies, is set to commence on July 5 and will extend until September.

Land is the foundation of every food system, providing water, food and natural resources that sustain all forms of life, and it is inextricably connected to people and their corresponding, societies, economies and cultures. A recent publication from the International Land Coalition (ILC), “Uneven Ground,” sheds new light on the scale and speed of the increasing land inequality that exists at a global level, resulting in growing disparities between smallholder farmers (family farms, indigenous peoples, rural women, youth and landless rural communities) and the corporate agribusiness sector. In this publication, Latin America ranks at the top of one of the most unequal regions in the world.

The year 2020 marked the completion and closure of the second implementation phase of the World Bank-financed Land Administration Project in Nicaragua (PRODEP II, 2013-2020). It also marked two decades of sustained financial and technical support from the World Bank,  FAO Investment Centre (CFI), and recently its Knowledge for Investment (K4I) initiative to help the Government of Nicaragua strengthen collective and individual land tenure rights; modernize and decentralize land administration institutions and evaluate the outcomes. PRODEP aims to strengthen land governance and property rights, to ultimately enhance tenure security, focusing particularly on poor and vulnerable populations, gender equity, and historical land claims of Indigenous peoples.

In his book, "Real Estate Registration and Cadastre – Practical Lessons and Experiences", launched in March 2020, Gavin Adlington with the contribution of T. Lamb, R. Tonchovska and R. McLaren, translates a practitioner’s lifetime experience (including more than 20 years of experience with the World Bank) into a practical handbook providing a unique step-by-step guide to approaching land administration projects. As the author portrays his book “it is a description of the key things to consider when trying to reform, establish or renew the real state registration and cadastre systems, and written by practitioners who have been involved in dozens of projects and programs in multiple countries”.
