Catalysing Commitment to Pro-Poor Land Governance

The goal of the grant to the ILC was to enable poor women and men to achieve secure and equitable access to and control over land to enable them to increase their food security and overcome poverty and vulnerability. The project's objectives were to influence the formulation and implementation of national land policies for the benefit of rural people; influence global and regional land-related processes and systems in favor of pro-poor land policies and governance; and build a leading knowledge network on land governance, contributing to substantive improvements in the monitoring, sharing and uptake of land related knowledge.

The grant built a leading knowledge network on land governance, contributing to substantive improvements in the monitoring, sharing and uptake of land-related knowledge.
