Land Rights in Crisis: Restoring Tenure Security in Afghanistan

This report discusses how land rights are facing a crisis in Afghanistan and how to restore tenure security in the country. This review is not about land in general but about land tenure, the way in which rights in land are distributed, secured, transacted and governed and the problems that surround these processes. Though water and land rights go together in Afghanistan, the former is not directly addressed here. In addition, the paper focuses upon the rural, rather than the urban, economy.
