Leap’s Conceptual framework

Indicators

LEAP developed these indicators to assess how effectively the tenure of groups and members of groups in communal property institutions is being secured.


Indicator 1

People's rights are becoming clearer; people know better what their rights are and they are more able to defend these rights.

Indicator 2

Land rights administration processes such as application, recording, adjudication, transfer, land use regulation and distribution of benefits are becoming clearer, better known and more used.

Indicator 3

Authority in these processes is becoming clearer, better known and more used.

Indicator 4

There are more and increasingly accessible places to go to for recourse in terms of these processes, and these are becoming better known and more used.

Indicator 5

Land rights administration processes are becoming less unfairly discriminatory against any person or group.

Indicator 6

Bridges are being built that span the gaps between actual practice and legal requirements.

Indicator 7

Benefits and services are equally available to people living under different tenure systems.

Used together, the indicators enable us to make statements about whether a group is moving towards or away from secure tenure. They are not used to make simple yes/no statements about tenure security, but rather to describe trends.
