Why Land Rights Matter: Rethinking Development Through Property Rights
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
What makes land rights such a powerful tool for freedom, development, and climate resilience? In this episode of IAF Continued Conversations, hosts Arpita Nepal and Rainer Heufers speak with land governance expert Karol Boudreaux from Landesa about why secure property rights are at the heart of liberty and prosperity.
They discuss why land titles alone aren’t enough, how customary systems can work with formal law, and why patient, locally driven approaches—not top-down aid—create lasting change.
From women’s empowerment in Tanzania to community-based conservation in Namibia, this conversation offers a grounded look at what truly works in development.
