ILC TRIBUTE TO Mr. van Banning We were saddened to hear about the death of Dr. Theo van Banning on 16 December. Dr. van Banning was an important point of reference for ILC's relationship with the government of the Netherlands. As both a land expert and a lawyer and teacher, he understood very well the ramifications of land tenure arrangements on multiple aspects of life, on human rights, poverty and rural development. His transparency, problem solving abilities and great desire to share knowledge made him an ally in our daily challenges and a pleasure to work with. We are very grateful for the support he gave the ILC. Español - Français |

| CAPRi - UNDP Paper on Decentralization, Pro-poor Land Policies and Democratic Governance In May this year the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre (OGC) launched a series of publications which explore the linkages between land policies and democratic governance. The briefs summarize debates on key issues, recognizing land not only as an economic asset for poverty reduction but also as part of intricate social relations and power structures. The discussion papers provide fresh understandings of state-society interactions for pro-poor land policy. They also raise issues of gender and conflict in multiple property systems and customary traditions in different countries across the world. All papers and briefs can be downloaded on the OGC's page on Governance and Poverty Reduction . CAPRi has contributed a brief and discussion paper , which is based on CAPRi's latest Working Paper on Decentralization, Pro-Poor Land Policies, and Democratic Governance (No. 80). This paper provides a review of how the issues of decentralization are linked to land tenure reform, in theory and practice. In include a review of the different types of land tenure reform and policy recommendations, considering how decentralized approaches to land tenure reform can contribute to goals such as gender equity, social cohesion, human rights, and the identity of indigenous peoples.

| The deep divide evident at the recent High Level Conference on Food Security in Rome between defining a future of 'food sovereignty' based on smallholder production vs 'food security' provided more by large-scale producers is likely will demand stakeholders - not least ILC members - to more clearly articulate how they position themselves in responding to the food crisis.

Large-scale biofuel production may increase marginalization of women - New study on biofuel production focuses on gender 21 April 2008, Rome - Rapid increases in the large-scale production of liquid biofuels in developing countries could exacerbate the marginalization of women in rural areas threatening their livelihoods, according to a new FAO study. The study notes that large-scale plantations for the production of liquid biofuels require an intensive use of resources and inputs to which small farmers, particularly women, traditionally have limited access. The growing global demand for liquid biofuels, combined with increased land requirements, could put pressure on so-called "marginal" lands, which provide key subsistence functions to the rural poor and are frequently farmed by women, the report noted. "Unless policies are adopted in developing countries to strengthen the participation of small farmers, especially women in biofuel production by increasing their access to land, capital and technology - gender inequalities are likely to become more marked and women's vulnerability to hunger and poverty further exacerbated," said Yianna Lambrou, co-author of the paper entitled Gender and Equity Issues in Liquid Biofuels Production .

Liz Alden Wily (Kenya) Getting to the Heart of the Matter: Powers over Property. Devolved land governance - the key to tackling the land issue in Kenya? A contribution to the current vibrant debate on land in Kenya following recent upheavals. Argues the need for a radical restructure of the way property relations are governed because what is being contested today is not just property but power over property. Makes practical suggestions for genuinely local democratisation of land governance. Need to act on identified illegal allocation of public land; devolve, not de-concentrate, land administration and to the most local level possible; and vest radical title in real communities, not district/tribal territorial domains.
