WELCOME TO THE INTERNATIONAL LAND COALITION!

WE ARE A GLOBAL ALLIANCE OF OVER 200 CIVIL SOCIETY AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS BASED IN OVER 60 COUNTRIES WORKING TOGETHER TO PUT PEOPLE AT THE CENTRE OF LAND GOVERNANCE

We also go by “ILC”

OUR VISION includes a just, equitable, and inclusive world in which land rights are secure and poverty is eradicated.

OUR GOALis to realise land governance for and with people at country level, responding to the needs and protecting the rights of women, men and communities who live on and from the land.

1“Members face different political and economic contexts. ILC is a place for sharing experiences, knowledge and how to resolve problems.”

Iwan Nurdin former Secretary General, KPA

ALONE WE GO FASTER, TOGETHER WE GO FURTHER!

WE ARE A NETWORK

diverse

with 1 goal

A COALITION OF EQUALSThe primary function of ILC as a network is to weave together a wide range of views and practices on land rights and governance based on shared values and the principle that every member has an equal voice. Members don’t always agree, but that is also our strength.

ILC PROVIDES A SPACE WHERE SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT LAND‑RELATED ISSUES CAN BE AIRED, AND WHEN AGREEMENT IS REACHED, THE OUTCOME IS ALL THE MORE MEANINGFUL.

This does not mean that the ILC is neutral. We are clear about the transformaiton we want to see, finding common ground while respecting diversity.

2 THE CHANGE WE SEEK IS THROUGH THE 10 COMMITMENTS TO PEOPLE‑CENTRED LAND GOVERNANCE

“From 2008 onwards we could see land grabbing happening at country‑level, with dire results for people in rural areas. ILC was an important mentor and ally accompanying Oxfam’s entry in the global [land grabbing] policy debate. ILC’s knowledge, research, and network have been invaluable in our work to challenge companies and multilateral agencies to improve policies and practices, and in building Oxfam’s Global Land Programme.”

Winnie Byanyima Executive Director, Oxfam International

3 NATIONAL ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES (NES) Today, ILC’S MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PLATFORMS IN COUNTRY - referred to as National Engagement Strategies - are connecting more than 300 land focused organisations to work together in over 20 countries!

THEIR OVERALL AIM IS TO INFLUENCE THE FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF LAND‑RELATED POLICIES AND LEGAL FRAMEWORKS USING THE ILC’S 10 COMMITMENTS TO PEOPLE‑CENTRED LAND GOVERNANCE.

The change that happens at country level is amplified by ILC’s work to influence land governance debates at regional and global levels.

ILC supports members in creating their own opportunities and platforms to CONNECT, MOBILISE and INFLUENCE. Find out how by reading our 2016-2021 Strategy: http://www.landcoalition.org/en/our-strategy-2016-21

SMALL CHANGES, BIG IMPACT.

WE AIM TO CHANGE POLICIES AND PRACTICES AT COUNTRY LEVEL

“We have an urgent need to build up our institutional and advocacy capacity at national level, our leadership, especially from women and youth, and our networks in order to be more effective. We see ILC as an important platform to help raise the voice of Indigenous Peoples in the whole land governance debate.”

Joan Carling former Secretary General, AIPP

WHAT IS PEOPLE-CENTRED LAND GOVERNANCE? It is the principle that vulnerable communities who live on and from the land should be the ultimate decision makers on how their land and natural resources should be used and to whose benefit.

ILC members have elaborated 10 commitments as an expression of our common vision and to guide their collective efforts to achieve land governance for and with people:

PROGRAMME & PROJECT BASED DONORS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSILC is a Coalition, and would be ineffective without all those who contribute to finance our collective efforts. All ILC members pay membership fees, and members also contribute in cash or in kind to collaborative initiatives. We would also like to thank our Strategic Partners and Donors who provide core support, guidance – and sometimes a little push when we need it.
