On the 17th of November 2021 – during the 2021 Virtual Assembly of Members – members of the Coalition adopted a new Strategy for 2022-2030. Consultations for this strategy started in December 2019, and were overseen by a Council Strategy Committee made up of the following members: UCRT, KPA, IFAD, IWGIA, SEEDS and FUNDE.
Our new strategy focuses on three major shifts
SHIFTING POWER
BACK TO PEOPLE
Systems change is about shifting power. Our strategy aims to do so by using through ILC’s ten commitments to people-centred land governance to challenge the perpetuation of inequality. We also are committed to putting people’s organisations at the core of ILC initiatives. Only by putting the power into the hands of people whose lives depend on land can we achieve inclusive and sustainable development that “leaves no one behind.”

TO LAND RIGHTS
ILC will stimulate much-needed progress with the Sustainable Development Goals land indicators in focus countries. Land rights are essential to achieving 13 of the goals, 59 targets and 65 indicators.

Because what doesn’t get measured, doesn’t get done, ILC will support its members in gathering people’s data on land governance and use it to monitor and hold governments accountable.
