Across the diversity of ILC’s network of over 200 civil society and intergovernmental organisations, our members have defined a common goal. People-Centred Land Governance (PCLG) responds to the needs, and protects the rights, of the women, men and communities who live on and from the land, respecting that they should be the ultimate decision-makers on how their land and natural resources are used. To guide our individual and collective efforts to achieve land governance for and with people, ILC’s members agreed on 10 Commitments in priority areas of action. They are a compass for our work, and we hope that they also provide a useful focus to others with a transformative agenda on land rights. Check out the second link to see how to use the data. For example Commitment 4 - Equal land rights for women with indicators 4 A, 4B, 4C :(FAO)
