This online workshop will address critical issues related to monitoring land tenure security in diverse contexts, particularly in urban environments, using administrative records.

It will also explore the unique challenges of data collection and the various sources of information used to capture the nuances of land tenure in these settings.

Participants will discuss the necessity of a comprehensive and inclusive data collection strategy that reflects the diversity of tenure arrangements across Arab countries. Special attention will be given to the integration of perception data, which is essential for complementing administrative data and legally recognized documentation, ensuring a holistic view of tenure security. Additionally, the workshop will address the differences and complementarities in monitoring SDG indicator 5.a.2.
