The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the UK's leading independent think tank on international development and humanitarian issues.


Mission 


Our mission is to inspire and inform policy and practice which lead to the reduction of poverty, the alleviation of suffering and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in developing countries.


We do this by locking together high quality applied research, practical policy advice, and policy-focused dissemination and debate.

Global Land Alliance

The mission of Global Land Alliance is to enable the prosperity of people and places by advancing learning and practice to achieve land tenure security and the efficient, inclusive and sustainable use of land and natural resources.


We aim to accelerate quality development by resolving land issues with new paradigms of participation and accountability.   We are a think-and-do tank focused on resolving land issues to address four critical development challenges:


Around the world, insecure property rights prevent families from feeling confident about the future, businesses from investing, and communities from becoming more productive. Hundreds of millions of us lack property security. This makes the world poorer, less free, and less just.

There is a growing recognition of the need for change, but without accurate information, governments, business and civil society can’t understand the nature of the challenge or how to overcome it.

Prindex collects data from around the world on how citizens perceive the security of their rights to land and property. The aim is to inform and enable changes in land and property policy that will make countries more productive and secure places to live.

This webinar gives a basic understanding of how Prindex works. The Prindex team presens results from data collected from 15 countries. It focuses on pathways for using Prindex to propel policy conversations and movement-building for policy reform with the help of panellists from some of the countries.
