Database of Good Practices for People-Centred Land Governance
Jan Cherlet
People-centred land governance (PCLG) is the term adopted by the 152 members of the International Land Coalition (ILC) to define forms of land governance that promote human dignity and wellbeing, poverty eradication, social justice and gender equality, inclusive and diverse societies, and protection of human rights. In 2013 the 152 members of ILC agreed in the Antigua Declaration on ten commitments that are essential to achieving people-centred land governance. The values and principles that underpin people-centred land governance and the ten commitments are in line with international benchmarks including the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure. In order to give concrete guidance to ILC members and non-members on how to realize each of the ten commitments, and hence on how to achieve people-centred land governance, the ILC Secretariat has developed a Database of Good Practices. The database systematically collects and disseminates the experiences and lessons learned by ILC members and partners in promoting people-centred land governance. The database focuses on those experiences that were successful and that are replicable or scalable. The principal audience of the database are the ILC members themselves, but it is expected that also professionals outside ILC will benefit from the database.
