What We Do
Evidence & analysis
We provide fully comparable, open-source data on perceptions of tenure security at both global and local levels. In addition, we conduct policy-relevant research and offer monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) services.
Global outreach
We share our findings to influence policy and raise awareness of the urgent need for action. Our efforts include building regional networks across Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, MENA, and sub-Saharan Africa.
Collaboration & partnerships
We work with partners such as the International Land Coalition and Land Portal to emphasize the importance of tenure security. We also share our data with like-minded organizations to promote change, including contributing to global initiatives like the LANDex land governance index.
“The global land and housing crisis threatens nearly 1 billion people with eviction. Prindex’s groundbreaking research provides essential data to protect land rights, ensuring dignity, stability, and a sustainable future for vulnerable populations worldwide.”
Addressing the global land and housing crisis
Our research has revealed a staggering truth: nearly 1 billion people worldwide fear eviction. This often-overlooked crisis in land and housing security is holding back global progress, stifling women's empowerment, and fueling conflict and climate change.
Land represents far more than a simple commodity for many people. It is tied to cultural heritage, identity, and personal dignity. Our homes are not just places of shelter—they are central to our well-being. Strengthening land and housing rights is crucial to protecting vulnerable populations and fostering a fairer, greener, and more prosperous world.
To achieve this, we need better data to identify those at risk of losing their property rights and to guide efforts to safeguard them. Prindex's pioneering global survey addresses this need by capturing the voices of all people, including those from often-marginalized groups. For the first time, we have a clear, global measure of land rights and a deeper understanding of the scale of this issue.
In addition to our global data, we conduct in-depth, country-specific studies to better understand localized challenges or the experiences of particular communities. Our analysis also highlights the intersection of land rights with other critical issues such as violent conflict, climate change, and gender equality.
