Vision


ALRD envisions a Bangladesh where upholding the rights of the citizen is the cornerstone of the State and where the State is pro-actively pursuing the promotion and strengthening of the rights of poor and the marginalized, including the most vulnerable of the society; landless peasants, indigenous peoples, women and religious and other minority communities. ALRD further aspires for a Bangladesh that adopts secularism as key guiding principle and gender equity and social justice are considered as key objectives of all its undertakings.


Mission


ALRD strives for realization of a pro-poor and gender sensitive land and agrarian regime based on comprehensive reforms through advocacy and sensitization of the policy makers, public representatives and other relevant stakeholders. Mobilization of the grassroots stakeholders and their representative organizations in alliance with civil society, intelligentsia and media is key achieving this mission.

ALRD is committed to and believes in:


  • Attaining gender sensitive organizational environment and promote gender equity and equality at all levels of organizational program planning, management and practices.
  • Cooperating with destitute landless peasants, women, indigenous peoples, minority communities, marginalized groups and the disabled for establishing their rights over land, other productive resources and promote their empowerment.
  • Extending cooperation and support to groups, organizations and individuals who work on land issues for the poor, women and indigenous peoples.
  • Working towards establishing a society free from discrimination and exploitation for ensuring human rights, social justice and equitable distribution of resources.
  • Promoting active involvement of all partners at all levels, ensure accountability, good governance, transparency and information sharing at all levels of the organization.
  • Initiating self-analysis and self-criticism as important means for achieving professional excellence in the organization.

Putting land rights in the climate change narrative: Voices from the ground

Reports & Research
November, 2023
Africa
Asia

Climate change affects everyone. Yet it hits the poor hardest, especially women and children, and those without rights to land.

Landlessness and the lack of secure land tenure amplify the vulnerability of rural poor communities to the impacts of climate change. Yet, the challenges surrounding their lack of land access and insecure tenure rights are often overlooked in climate change discussions, policy-making, and program implementation.
