This technical paper brings together two shorter studies pertaining to access to land as a tool for promoting rural development. One of the papers is written by Ruben G. Echeverrķa and Nayra Bello O?Shanahan and underlines the importance of land access as one of the key elements to any strategy for rural poverty reduction, describes the Bank?s experience in the financing of land projects, and makes suggestions regarding possible areas where actions could be taken to improve land access. The second paper, written by Alain de Janvry, Karen Macours and Elisabeth Sadoulet, reviews land renting or leasing in depth as an option to improve access and to promote dynamic land markets. An analysis of the experience in the Dominican Republic is also presented, making comparisons with other countries in the region and areas in Asia, the United States and Europe.
