People's Data

In the hands of land users and citizens, data can be a powerful tool that has the potential to shift power imbalances and hold governments and corporations accountable.

Initiatives established

Putting people at the center of data

The nearly 300 members of the International Land Coalition share one goal: bringing about people-centred land governance. This means putting those who live on and from the land at the centre of decision-making.

Too often, they are excluded from decisions about their land by those in power. That is why ILC members across the globe are collecting and managing ‘people-centred’ or citizen-led data, according to their own priorities to shift power imbalances that have historically marginalised and excluded them.

ILC members are showing the complex realities of land governance on the ground, providing information they need to advocate for their rights while holding governments accountable for the promises they make.

We support data-driven initiatives across 800 organisations coming together in over 60 national and thematic platforms, providing tools and training to generate and use people-centred data.

"AT SOME POINT THE GOVERNMENT COULD NO LONGER DENY THE DATA WE COLLECT ON THE GROUND BECAUSE IT WAS DONE IN A PARTICIPATORY WAY"

-Marda Tillah, RMI, Indonesia

At ILC, people-centred data is helping us:
