Research paper on the impact of SLLC on tenure security, investment, and incomes
To strengthen previous quantitative findings on how tenure security translates into increased investments, productivity, and incomes, LIFT conducted a mixed methods study with a strong qualitative component in March 2021. We found strong evidence for tenure security effects resulting from SLLC, with significant reductions in disputes, improvements in perceived tenure security, and around one-fifth of households saying they had made additional investments because of SLLC.
