“The Land portal discussion helped to create a space to bring focus to gender issues and to deepen the discourse sponsorship to substantive rights like access and control. We need more such dialogues between stakeholders to stimulate collaborative inquiry and actions.”

“The Land Portal webinar  and related discussions on women's land rights in India gave me  some crucial inputs for further analysis and need for  data  to be collected on this subject, which helped me to conceptualise the land rights question in the economic justice framework. I would recommend such webinars and research sharing workshops to be taken by Land Portal in future and for Land Portal itself to be engaging with policy- and action -oriented researchers  on a regular basis in the  the near future. It should not be treated as a one time activity, as this subject is generating interest in both policy and civil society circles."

“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.“

“The Land Portal has given me access to information that has then helped me to make good and timely decisions during interventions and implementation”

“It was a great experience to organize a webinar in collaboration with Land Portal. While we invested our efforts in allying with panelists, Land Portal was there helping with technical parts and outreach. Teamed together, we could hold an effective webinar on inheritance of land by women in India”.

“Collaborating with the Land Portal in debating new land issues and disseminating new publications is a real pleasure. It strengthens our project’s reach and ensures our co-published blogs and research findings can contribute to global land policy agenda-setting processes. A personal highlight for me was co-organising and participating in the webinar on “Sextortion” in June 2018".

“The Partnership for Action workshop was a very fruitful and very proactive workshop, with lots of new information and inputs that built upon the participants’ knowledge on what a “data cycle and ecosystem” means. I particularly enjoyed the group exercise on data collection, sharing, dissemination and feedback, which definitely was a very insightful “takeaway” from the workshop."

“We have found Land Portal website extremely useful to keep ourselves updated on land related developments across the globe. Resources and data set made available by Land Portal help us immensely in teaching academic courses on land, especially to examine from a global perspective some of the local and national issues in the land sector. Discussions around topics such as land and corruption have been found to be useful for our other courses on governance and development as well. I often advise students and young researchers who approach me for research ideas on land-related topics to visit Land Portal for leads and data.”
