Co-organisé par la FAO, l'UNCCD, le TMG et le Land Portal, cet événement parallèle visait spécifiquement à discuter de la manière dont l'intégration de la VGGT dans les initiatives de neutralité de la dégradation des terres (LDN) peut relancer la dynamique pour améliorer la sécurité d'occupation et débloquer de multiples avantages sociaux, économiques et environnementaux. 

Une fois de plus, les organisations internationales de développement (Banque mondiale, FIDA, FAO, USAID, GIZ et autres) se sont réunies pour discuter des Directives volontaires, qui ont été approuvées en mai2012. Un succès incontestable est d'avoir également associé le plus grand mouvement paysan, La Via Campesina, qui dès le jour de l'approbation a applaudi avec enthousiasme ce processus.

Cette histoire de données examine les défis à relever pour aligner les actions sur la dégradation des terres et la sécurité de la tenure, en se basant sur l'examen des ensembles de données disponibles dans les deux domaines.

Cette histoire de données examine certains des impacts des VGGT. Elle met en lumière les données disponibles sur la manière dont les VGGT ont été utilisés, sur la manière dont les travaux de projets associés intègrent les directives, et sur la question de savoir si la mise en œuvre a entraîné un changement tangible dans la sécurité du régime foncier pour les communautés du monde entier. 

On 27-28 June 2022, RVO organized the first annual LAND-at-scale exchange, bringing together over fifty LAND-at-scale project partners, knowledge management partners, Committee members as well as representatives from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs for an in-depth introduction of all LAND-at-scale stakeholders and facilitate a learning exchange.

The LAND-at-sale project in Colombia was the first LAND-at-scale project to kick off. With its mid-term review just concluded, the project provides interesting insights into the challenges of not only achieving tenure security but sustaining it over time within a complex context. LAND-at-scale interviewed Piet Spijkers at Kadaster International, to learn more about their approach to achieve and sustain tenure security in Colombia through the LAND-at-scale project.

Burkina Faso has a long history of land interventions aiming to achieve tenure security at the local level. The “Observatoire National du Foncier au Burkina-Faso” (ONF-BF) is one of the key players in the country working on mapping land rights within communities at commune-level. How does ONF-BF address the challenge of not only attaining tenure security through mapping, but ensuring these tenure rights last over time?

The 15th session of the Conference of Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), is taking place in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire, from 9 to 20 May 2022. The theme: “Land, Life. Legacy: From scarcity to prosperity.” “We are faced with a crucial choice,” Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed told participants: “We can either reap the benefits of land restoration now or continue on the disastrous path that has led us to the triple planetary crisis of climate, biodiversity and pollution”

The main objective of the LAND-at-scale program is to directly strengthen essential land governance components for men, women and youth that have the potential to contribute to structural, just, sustainable and inclusive change at scale. An ambitious objective, that cannot be achieved in isolation. Alignment is, therefore, a key factor in all LAND-at-scale activities - be it at project level for our country interventions or through our collaborative approach to knowledge management.

Knowledge management and learning are at the heart of the LAND-at-scale program. On June 29^th at a pre-event of the LANDac conference, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), LANDac and the International Land Coalition (ILC) officially announced their collaboration to implement the knowledge management (KM) component of the program.
