Twenty-sixteen (2016) was a breakthrough year for the Land Portal Foundation. Through transforming its layout and key features, forming exciting new partnerships, and promoting an enormous diversity of new content, we achieved significant progress towards becoming the world’s leading online destination for information on land. Demand for the Land Portal was higher than ever, with unprecedented global interest in data and information on land governance. The number of Land Portal website visits increased considerably, with consistently 30,000 visits per month as of December 2016. Notably, the Land Portal maintained a consistent percentage (over 40% per month) of visitors from the Global South.
This Annual Report provides insight on the main outcomes of the Land Portal in 2016, and presents a forward-looking vision for a young organization that is now up on its feet and hitting the ground running.
