International Land Coalition

Secure and equitable access to agricultural land and natural resources is a key development challenge. Since the global trend towards growing competition for land and water resources is not likely to decrease, advocacy for, support to and enforcement of pro-poor land governance and policies must be pursued simultaneously at local, country, regional and global levels.

ILC’s goal is to enable poor rural women and men to gain secure and equitable access to and control over land to increase their food security and overcome poverty and vulnerability.

Rural poor populations (including marginalized groups) in developing countries, with particular emphasis on 16 countries where a “national engagement strategy” is implemented during the phase (2013-2016): Albania, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Cambodia, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Nepal, Niger, Peru, the Philippines and Rwanda.

1. Influence the formulation and implementation of national land policy for the benefits of rural people;
2. Influence global and regional land-related processes and systems in favour of pro-poor land policies and governance;
3. Build the world’s leading knowledge network on land governance, contributing to substantive improvements in the monitoring, sharing and uptake of land-governance knowledge;
4. Strengthen ILC as a vibrant, solid, and influential global actor on land-related issues.

Individual projects benefitting from SDC’s earmarked support will also be monitored and assessed against these outcomes.
