Julian Quan, DFID Core Land Support Team, LEGEND

“The Land Portal library is an incredible resource for anybody researching land issues, anywhere in the world. As DFID and others have invested to make Land Portal a long term sustainable platform to extend access to data and knowledge, the  LEGEND programme has relied on it to disseminate our products, as a channel for distribution of our bulletin and to communicate widely with stakeholders."

Yuliya Panfil, Senior fellow and Director, New America’s Future of Property Rights program

"Land Portal has always been extremely easy to work with, professional and no nonsense. Collaboration is a breeze. With many partners in the land rights space, it takes months - even years - to go from idea to execution. With Land Portal there's no hemming and hawing, no protracted strategic discussions, they just get the job done, quickly and well. The Tech and Transparency webinar New America co-hosted with Land Portal last summer was a perfect example. I am constantly amazed with how much Land Portal can do with a small team. They are the most efficient land NGO I've ever worked with. "

Chris Penrose Buckley, Senior Land Policy Lead, United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID)

“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.”

Elke Matthaei, Land Governance Advisor, GIZ

“The Land Portal is one of the go-to websites we use when it comes to land governance. When we have new colleagues, it’s one of the main sources we give them to inform themselves about the topic, as it provides an incredible overview of everything that is happening in the land governance sector - who’s involved, what initiatives there are, especially related to SDG monitoring, so it really is a great resource. One of the most significant roles of the Land Portal  is its work on open data and building the data ecosystem. Three years ago, the Land Portal organized a workshop on building the land information ecosystem. They have  one of the frontrunners on this topic, which has mushroomed internationally. This is a major added value to the land governance sector.“

Husna Mabarak, FAO

“As data forms the basis of decision making, policy guidance and resource allocation, the partnership with Land Portal though the ‘Land Governance Programme in Kenya’ opened up an avenue for understanding the importance of data and Open Data platforms and engagement. It's been a pleasure working with the team and looking forward to more synergies.”

“The Land Portal is a unique and trustworthy digital space for sharing information and data on land as well as a platform to meet and discuss land issues, run by a skilled and dedicated team. It has become the go-to digital space in the land sector. It has been wonderful to see how the organization behind the Land Portal has developed into a mature and professional entity.”
