Land-Based Finance learning session 'Land Value Capture models in Latin America – experiences from Colombia and Argentina'
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN- Habitat) and the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), in partnership with the Local Government Revenue Initiative (LoGRI) of the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD), have the pleasure of introducing the fifth series of learning sessions on the theme of “Land-Based Finance: Policy Innovations and Implications for Leveraging Land for Building the Social Contract, Service Delivery, and Governance”.
As in the first four series, the overall purpose is “Bringing together partners, experts and implementers to learn about advances, good practice, innovations and challenges, and to create opportunities for collaboration.”
The fifth learning series aims to foster active participation and ownership among participants of the Learning Series to explore innovative practices by inviting professionals, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to submit their proposals to present experiences, share lessons, or discuss specific challenges related to land-based finance.
The first session of the fifth series of our Land-Based Finance learning sessions with the title ‘Land Value Capture models in Latin America – experiences from Colombia and Argentina’ is scheduled to take place on 28 July 2025 from 17:00 to 19:00 (EAT).

GRF high-level side event: Secure Housing, Land and Property rights – From emergency response to durable solutions
This event presents a tremendous opportunity for UN Member States and other actors to reflect on the strong human rights dimensions of secure access to housing and land for refugee and returnee men, women and children – with an outlook towards creating sustainable pathways to durable solutions and long-term development outcomes.
The event further serves as a key part of efforts geared toward inspiring renewed political will, resource mobilization and additional in-kind support for addressing tenure-related challenges among forcibly displaced populations and their host communities.
Recognizing the already compelling case for more predictable, equitable, and sustainable systems of response to the housing, land, and property challenges facing refugees, returnees, and their host communities, the programme seeks to build on this – drawing on the experiences of key State and non-state actors and bringing together a diverse and high-powered panel of speakers and discussants, whose contributions to this area of work standout as notable models and promising practices in our quest to bring displacement to end.
