LAND-at-scale Knowledge Management for Equitable and Sustainable Land Governance: Supporting the LAND-at-scale

General

Knowledge management (KM) and learning are at the heart of the LAND-at-scale programme. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) in partnership with a broad scala of knowledge partners including LANDac, Royal Tropical Intitute (KIT), the International Land Coalition (ILC), Land Portal and many more will collaborate to implement the knowledge management (KM) component of the program. 

Through LAND-at-scale's country-projects, the aim is to achieve just, inclusive and sustainable land governance at scale and in a sustainable way. With an integrated KM-strategy, LAND-at-scale aims to achieve maximum impact of each project, as well as contribute to gaining a deeper understanding of the conditions required to create structural change. Exchanges across partners is a core element of the strategy, but also linking them to academic partners to fill in knowledge gaps and uncover more along the way.
