ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an analysis of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and its relation to land tenure security (LTS) and proposes the opportunities and challenges of land reform projects. It examines a critical review of a selected number of case studies where the private sector plays a significant role in the delivery of LTS. Proper land administration, where the cadastre and land registration information systems underpin significant activities related to land, is vital for sustainable development. There are significant opportunities for land reform projects including new technologies - such as drones and portable devices - for the collection of geographic information. The private sector could be included in land reform projects in multiple ways. The chapter also presents 5 case studies Switzerland, Canada and Australia in developed countries and the Philippines and India in developing countries from where proposed strategies where drawn. Land reform projects are facing both challenges and opportunities.
