NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

It’s clear that we cannot work in isolation. That is why building and strengthening partnerships is critical to solving land governance challenges and is at the apex of ILC’s approach.

CONNECTING 300+ LAND FOCUSED ORGANISATIONS FOR SYSTEMS CHANGE IN 30+ COUNTRIES.

Land governance is a complex issue and the systems we seek to change are deeply rooted in unequal power relations.

That is why ILC has developed a systematic approach to setting up, monitoring and supporting the success of multi‑stakeholder platforms on land governance. This includes direct support to national platforms in 30+ countries and by collaborating in 10+ more countries with member and partner organisations.

These platforms - referred to as National Land Coalitions (NLC) - formerly NES - are helping to simplify and unpack land governance complexities by setting priorities and suggesting solutions to some of the most difficult land‑related issues in a country.

By working with existing networks, NLC’s are promoting collaboration and bridging the gap between government, the private sector, civil society including grassroots organisations, international agencies, traditional authorities and academia.

Together, these actors develop country strategies and initiate multi-year action plans to influence the formulation and implementation of inclusive policies and legal frameworks.

At the global level, national land experts come together in “LandCollaborative,” breaking silos and innovating together with their peers.

With over 20 years of experience and with some trial and error, we know what works.

Even in the most challenging and fragile contexts.
