    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.

Solidarité des Intervenants sur le Foncier / Sehatra lombonana ho an'ny Fananantany

Member since: 2009

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 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

SIF is committed to improve legal, administrative and technical frameworks by raising awareness, and disseminating good practices from the ground and land-related information among rural communities, the authorities responsible for land reform and governmental authorities. The platform tries to facilitate land ownership procedures at local level, and monitors the non-violation of land-related legislations while working at the interface between local communities and the administration.

Objectives

The platform's main objective is to facilitate access to land to the population, by posing as an interface between the administration and the people concerned.

Constituencies

Malagasy population, mainly the most vulnerable.
