Towards a Common Platform on Access to Land
The Catalyst to Reduce Rural Poverty and the Incentive for Sustainable Natural Resource Management
Towards a Common Platform on Access to Land has evolved through an extensive process of global consultation that was launched in 2000 at the eighth session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. It aims to stimulate and support public policies and country-level activities that improve access by the poor to land and productive requirements in order to improve their production and household incomes. Its global scope means that it can gather and disseminate knowledge and lessons learned from and to different countries and regions. Its success will flow from the active involvement of civil society, intergovernmental and international financial institutions and governments.
