March 5, 2024 — In 2023, four land-sector organizations came together, with support from the European Commission (EC), to strengthen the central role of data in securing equitable land rights for sustainable development, poverty eradication, peace and the protection of human rights. The EC Land Data Partnership, which includes the International Land Coalition (coordinating the partnership), the Land Portal Foundation, the Land Matrix Initiative, and Prindex, published their Joint Statement of Intention in recognition of International Open Data Day.
We are proud to announce the release of three State of Land Information reports, which detail the land information status in Mozambique, Liberia, and Sudan. These comprehensive reports provide an in-depth analysis of the current land information systems, legal frameworks, and data accessibility in these countries.
Join us in a webinar that will shine light on two groundbreaking reports concerning gender and land governance in the Mekong region. The reports, "Outlook on Gender and Land in the Mekong Region" and "Towards Gender-Equitable Land Policy and Law Making in the Mekong Region," were produced in Phase II of the Mekong Region Land Governance (MRLG) program. This is the first webinar in the series ‘State of Land in the Mekong region.’ This series highlights the evolving environment of land governance in this dynamic region.

We welcome your suggestions for panel sessions and round tables for the first two days. Building on your input, we will conclude on the last day with an experiment of democracy – a more-than human Summit.

O 8M foi de luta na comunidade de Caranguejo Tabaiares. Foi dia de caminhar pela comunidade, e nos reconhecer na luta cotidiana pela vida das mulheres e pela sobrevivência. As participantes levaram cartazes com mensagens importantes sobre os direitos das mulheres, com frases que enfatizam a necessidade de conscientização pelo fim da violência contra as mulheres, feminicídios e violência doméstica. Caminhamos pelos becos e ruas dentro e fora de Caranguejo a fim de mostrar o cansaço por intermináveis horas de trabalho e para reclamar nosso direito de permanecer e defender o nosso território tão desejado pelo capitalismo e a especulação imobiliária.
Women play important roles in all smallholder farming systems. Advocates for women farmers often claim that “women produce 60-80% of the world’s food.” Occasionally, we are told that this statistic refers to food produced in developing countries, or food crops in sub-Saharan Africa; the reference point is vague. But the idea is clear – women produce more food than men.
