“The Land Portal has given me access to information that has then helped me to make good and timely decisions during interventions and implementation”

“The Land Portal plays a critical convening and connecting role in the land sector. They  have been an incredibly dynamic, innovative and responsive DFID partner under the LEGEND programme. In just a few years they have delivered on their goal to become the go-to site for land governance information and are now also facilitating important global discussions on land. We value Land Portal’s central commitment to open data and to connecting people and stories on land in the global north and south.”

“It was a great experience to organize a webinar in collaboration with Land Portal. While we invested our efforts in allying with panelists, Land Portal was there helping with technical parts and outreach. Teamed together, we could hold an effective webinar on inheritance of land by women in India”.

“The Partnership for Action workshop was a very fruitful and very proactive workshop, with lots of new information and inputs that built upon the participants’ knowledge on what a “data cycle and ecosystem” means. I particularly enjoyed the group exercise on data collection, sharing, dissemination and feedback, which definitely was a very insightful “takeaway” from the workshop."

"In the course of our long-standing association with the Land Portal we have been impressed by the competency and breadth of knowledge of Land Portal staff. We were invited to facilitate an online discussion on what we can do to achieve sustainable pro-poor land reform in South Africa. In the process we learnt important skills for the moderation of online discussions and the importance of thorough preparation to ensure a quality outcome. This resulted in a particularly rich discussion on the rationale for land taxes and strengthened land administration. Some of the ideas discussed here and the interchange between discussants later influenced contributions to consultative sessions organised by the Presidential Advisory Panel on Agriculture and Land Reform on the need to re-purpose land administration."

“Participating in the webinar was very useful in terms of distilling my own thoughts and more importantly, for the connection it provided with other participants. I learnt immensely from their experiences and perspectives. I use the Land Portal to keep myself updated on what is new and happening in this domain. It provides a quick snapshot of key developments in the area. I would recommend Land Portal to colleagues.”

“The Land Portal online discussion forum presented an opportunity to reflect on very difficult and sensitive questions related to land reform in Liberia. The exercise provided the means and tools to collect, analyze, and synthesize diverse views and at times, competing interests and perspectives around land tenure rights.  In addition, the discussion enhanced relevant skills and capacity to host an online discussion and improve communication, collaboration, and teamwork among diverse stakeholders (experts, practitioners, advocates, government agents, and community members). Specifically, the experience helped produce new information and knowledge that were used to inform our work (advocacy and awareness) on the land rights law.”

“In collaborating with the Land Portal, whether on webinars about indigenous rights and climate change or on online forums concerning land investment transparency, I’ve always appreciated the breadth and depth of the audiences and actors the site reaches. The land portal’s ever growing library of resources is also an important aide for CCSI, and features regularly in our strategic approaches to dissemination. I regularly share links to the Land Portal and believe it is a helpful place to refer contacts, both experienced and new to the field.”

“The Land Portal has increased the ability of Prindex to reach a diverse audience with data visualizations and a dedicated page, and blogging about the initiative during its formative period. These greatly amplified the visibility of Prindex. Land Portal also did a tremendous job in organizing a webinar to promote engagement with Prindex findings. The webinar enhanced our scope of engagement and connected us directly with a wide audience. The Land Portal has improved the quality of our dissemination and communications by amplifying our messages to a much bigger audience in the sector than we could have otherwise done. Land Portal has also helped clarify the relevance and value of Prindex as an indicator in the land sector space. I would recommend Land Portal as a partner for data visualization, advocacy, webinars and for establishing ongoing narrative about an issue or place.”
