    Why Land
    Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates ecosystems and communities. It builds democracy, justice, sustainability and resilience.

IEE

Instituto de Estudios Ecuatorianos

Member since: 2018

Working towards these commitments

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.
3

Diverse Tenure Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

The Institute mission is to develop a committed research framework with the goal of the construction of critical thinking together and for indigenous, peasant and rural women's organizations

Objectives

IEE's objectives are to strengthen social movements and to contribute significantly to the analysis of the social and political reality, through committed research on related issues with the rural change. Furthermore, the IEE wants to influence the organization of government, state and society through public debate and the dissemination of information. 

Constituencies

The Institute of Ecuadorian Studies (IEE) is one of the oldest non-governmental organizations in Ecuador. Although its legal status was granted on May 27, 1985 (Agreement No. 467 of the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion, formerly Ministry of Social Welfare), its antecedents go back to the creation of the Center for Research and Socio-Economic Studies (CIESE) ) in the year 1976.
