“The Land Portal has increased the ability of Prindex to reach a diverse audience with data visualizations and a dedicated page, and blogging about the initiative during its formative period. These greatly amplified the visibility of Prindex. Land Portal also did a tremendous job in organizing a webinar to promote engagement with Prindex findings. The webinar enhanced our scope of engagement and connected us directly with a wide audience. The Land Portal has improved the quality of our dissemination and communications by amplifying our messages to a much bigger audience in the sector than we could have otherwise done. Land Portal has also helped clarify the relevance and value of Prindex as an indicator in the land sector space. I would recommend Land Portal as a partner for data visualization, advocacy, webinars and for establishing ongoing narrative about an issue or place.”

“The Partnership for Action workshop provided an important opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities for generating, accessing, and using critical information on land rights. It was clear that there are real obstacles to getting information on, for example, indigenous and community land rights as well as women’s land rights. The workshop helped shed light on these issues and hopefully will encourage more organizations is get engaged in developing and sharing  information on land rights.”

“It was a great experience to organize a webinar in collaboration with Land Portal. While we invested our efforts in allying with panelists, Land Portal was there helping with technical parts and outreach. Teamed together, we could hold an effective webinar on inheritance of land by women in India”.

“In collaborating with the Land Portal, whether on webinars about indigenous rights and climate change or on online forums concerning land investment transparency, I’ve always appreciated the breadth and depth of the audiences and actors the site reaches. The land portal’s ever growing library of resources is also an important aide for CCSI, and features regularly in our strategic approaches to dissemination. I regularly share links to the Land Portal and believe it is a helpful place to refer contacts, both experienced and new to the field.”

“The Land Portal webinar  and related discussions on women's land rights in India gave me  some crucial inputs for further analysis and need for  data  to be collected on this subject, which helped me to conceptualise the land rights question in the economic justice framework. I would recommend such webinars and research sharing workshops to be taken by Land Portal in future and for Land Portal itself to be engaging with policy- and action -oriented researchers  on a regular basis in the  the near future. It should not be treated as a one time activity, as this subject is generating interest in both policy and civil society circles."

“The Land Portal plays a critical convening and connecting role in the land sector. They  have been an incredibly dynamic, innovative and responsive DFID partner under the LEGEND programme. In just a few years they have delivered on their goal to become the go-to site for land governance information and are now also facilitating important global discussions on land. We value Land Portal’s central commitment to open data and to connecting people and stories on land in the global north and south.”

“The Land Portal is one of the go-to websites we use when it comes to land governance. When we have new colleagues, it’s one of the main sources we give them to inform themselves about the topic, as it provides an incredible overview of everything that is happening in the land governance sector - who’s involved, what initiatives there are, especially related to SDG monitoring, so it really is a great resource. One of the most significant roles of the Land Portal  is its work on open data and building the data ecosystem. Three years ago, the Land Portal organized a workshop on building the land information ecosystem. They have  one of the frontrunners on this topic, which has mushroomed internationally. This is a major added value to the land governance sector.“

“The Partnership for Action workshop was a very fruitful and very proactive workshop, with lots of new information and inputs that built upon the participants’ knowledge on what a “data cycle and ecosystem” means. I particularly enjoyed the group exercise on data collection, sharing, dissemination and feedback, which definitely was a very insightful “takeaway” from the workshop."

“The Land portal discussion helped to create a space to bring focus to gender issues and to deepen the discourse sponsorship to substantive rights like access and control. We need more such dialogues between stakeholders to stimulate collaborative inquiry and actions.”
