    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.

LAND DEVELOPMENT AND GOVERNANCE INSTITUTE

Member since: 2015

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.
7

Inclusive decision-making

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 organisation's mission is to be a centre of excellence in promoting the application of appropriate land policies, laws and management practices by empowering society through innovative and knowledge based advocacy and capacity building in Kenya and the region. It is also to contribute to improved livelihoods through offering a bridge between communities, stake-holders and policy makers in the promotion of equitable access and sustainable management of land and natural resources.

Objectives

The objectives include building solidarity with like-minded people, communities, institutions and individuals for promotion of the right to equitable access and sustainable management of land and natural resources; advocating for appropriate policies, laws, programmes, plans, strategies and projects that promote the right of the citizens to equitable access and sustainable management of land and natural resources and providing accessible, functional information to the citizens to enable them engage effectively in decision making, policies design and implementation, facilitating and promote networking among its stakeholders and driving and undertaking action research that promotes innovation and best practices in sustainable management of land and natural resources.

Constituencies

The organisation's beneficiaries include land owners and land users, the media, policy makers, legislators and implementers, communities and land sector stakeholders.
