Landesa (Rural Development Institute) is an international non-governmental organization that fights poverty and provides opportunity and security for the rural people living in extreme poverty through the power of land rights. The impacts of secure land rights cut across the spectrum of global development and human rights concerns– from health to economic growth, from women’s empowerment to political stability. Landesa is one of few global organizations dedicated to promoting secure land rights as a path to social justice and gender equality. Founded in Seattle, Washington in the United States, Landesa has helped secure land rights for more than 120 million families in over 50 countries. In 2015, Landesa was awarded the Hilton Humanitarian Prize, the largest humanitarian prize in the world, in recognition of its extraordinary contributions to alleviating human suffering. Landesa currently has active projects in India, Myanmar, China, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique. The Landesa Center for Women’s Land Rights reinforces Landesa’s commitment to gender-responsive land reforms and advocacy.
The Population & Sustainability Network was co-founded and formally launched as a Partnership for Sustainable Development under the UN Commission for Sustainable Development at the United Nations in New York in April 2004. The Network collaborates on advocacy and project activities. Advocacy actions relate to the unmet need for family planning, as well as the connections between population dynamics and climate change, population dynamics and the environment, and current unsustainable consumption patterns. Project activities are undertaken by Network members in collaboration with the Margaret Pyke Trust, and are designed to support the Network’s advocacy. The Network is administered and coordinated by the staff of the Margaret Pyke Trust, from their London offices.
