Land and property rights in East Asia and the Pacific: How can new data on citizens' perceptions help to improve tenure security?

Please join us on 12 November for an online event on land and property rights in East Asia and the Pacific.

Secure land and property rights are crucial to economic growth and sustainable development. Improving tenure security is also important to the agendas of many global development institutions and donors working in East Asia and the Pacific. Until recently, however, there has been a lack of reliable data that is comparable across regions and countries.

Prindex is the world’s first global measure of how secure people feel in their land and property rights. The new Prindex dataset is not only nationally representative, allowing for comparisons across countries with different governance systems and tenure arrangements, it also sheds light on who is most likely to feel insecure and why. Following our global launch in July, we are now publishing our analysis of Prindex data for East Asia and the Pacific.

Along with sharing our key regional findings, this event will bring together donors, researchers, policy makers, and activists to discuss how data can help to improve tenure security. How can Prindex data be used to shape and target existing donor agendas? How can it be used to push for change? What can we learn from positive outliers and where are the issues most urgent?
