Strengthening global coordination for land governance monitoring and data for policy decisions: Experiences from global land indicators initiative
Everlyne Nairesiae
The Global Land Indicators Initiative (GLII) The need to step up global coordination and monitoring of land governance issues led to the establishment of Global Land Indicators Initiative (GLII) in 2012. The establishment of this global multi-stakeholders platform for land governance monitoring was championed by Millennium Challenge Corporation, the World Bank and UN-Habitat through the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN). GLII is hosted and facilitated by GLTN in UN-Habitat. GLII is as a collaborative and inclusive process for coordination and development of Global Land Indicators that aims to making global scale monitoring of land governance and progress towards secure tenure for all a reality. In addition to developing land indicators, the GLII platform provides accompanying tools and guidelines for monitoring, reporting on land indicators, capacity building for uptake of comparable methodologies and data protocols, promote the use of open source land data repositories, coordinating and convening dialogues for land and data communities. The initiative has now grown to over 50 platform members, including non-governmental organizations, multi-lateral agencies, academia, research institutions and training institutions; farmers’ organizations, UN agencies working on land governance, national and regional land data and statistical offices and institutions.
