What we are best at

Our Core Competences

Sustainable Land Management
Our members apply practices and technologies for integrated management of land, water, and other resources to ensuring long-term sustainability, ecosystem services, biodiversity, and livelihoods. Spatial planning is an important aspect of sustainable land management
Data - Information - Knowledge
We develop integrated approaches for a viable relationship between rural and urban areas and promote sustainable land use in the context of urbanisation thus increasing resilient cities and urban environments

Responsible Land Governance
Responsible land governance emphasises the need to design the processes that govern access to and use of land in a way that it creates benefits for all. The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Land Tenure are an important tool to achieve this
Land Policy & Legal Framework
Land policies and a consistent legislation processes and frameworks are at the core to achieve social and economic development for all, including the most disadvantaged groups. Pro-poor land policy approaches are therefore needed
