Assessment of the Land Sector in Saudi Arabia: Background Paper

This background paper presents the results of an assessment conducted on land management and land administration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between 2020 and 2022. Good land governance is essential for realizing sustainable social, economic, and environmental development, peace and stability. The paper indicates the country's capacity to deliver good land governance by measuring its performance on the core land administration functions: land tenure, land value, land use, land development and land disputes resolution. It also maps the existing learning offer on land governance, identifying the key institutions and the courses available in Saudi Arabia. The paper was prepared as part of the work of the Arab Land Initiative, and its preparation was coordinated by the Urban Training and Studies Institute (UTI) of the Housing and Building National Research Center (HBRC), Egypt, under the leadership of UN-Habitat and the Global Land Tool Network.
