Secure land and resource rights are a cornerstone of economic growth and poverty reduction. Decades of evidence link improved land and resource governance with economic growth, food security, reduced deforestation, and a range of other benefits.

And yet, significant evidence and data gaps remain, which hamper effective programs and policies. Over the last two years USAID conducted a comprehensive review of the evidence in the land and resource governance sector. Based on this review, USAID developed a Land and Resource Governance Research Agenda, which will dictate its research priorities in this area over the coming years.

Please join USAID and Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ as we launch this Research Agenda and hear from experts across the international development and global security space about why land and resource governance matters to their work.
