Prindex is a global initiative born from a partnership between the Global Land Alliance and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI). It was created to fill a critical gap in data regarding property rights, offering a worldwide measure of how secure people feel about their land and housing tenure. Prior to Prindex, there was limited insight into global perceptions of property security, despite its importance to key development goals.
Since its inception, Prindex has been instrumental in advancing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1.4, which focuses on ensuring equal rights to ownership and control of land and property by 2030. Prindex's data plays a crucial role in tracking progress towards this goal, especially through SDG Indicator 1.4.2, which measures perceptions of tenure security across various populations. By collecting comprehensive and comparable data from over 140 countries, Prindex helps governments and international organizations design policies that address property insecurity, ultimately contributing to poverty reduction, gender equality, and sustainable development.

Displaying 6 - 10 of 21Global perceptions of urban land tenure security
This report uses unique household survey data from 24,870 respondents in 33 countries in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia to investigate correlations between demographic, economic and spatial characteristics and perceived tenure insecurity.
Women's perceptions of tenure security
This report uses household-level data from 33, mostly developing, countries to analyse perceptions of tenure insecurity among women. We test two hypotheses: (1) that women feel more insecure than men; and (2) that increasing statutory protections for women, for instance by issuing joint named titles or making inheritance law more gender equal, increases de facto tenure security.
