Since its founding, Landesa has partnered with governments, communities and other stakeholders in more than 66 countries to equip people experiencing poverty with gender-sensitive land rights reforms using law and policy tools. These reforms have helped alleviate poverty, reduce hunger and ease conflict over land for more than 720 million people.
This transformation—from land insecurity or landlessness to secure rights to land—has boosted agricultural productivity in the Global South by billions of dollars per year, improved health, nutrition and school enrollment in hundreds of villages across the globe, and placed scores of billions of dollars in new land wealth in the hands of people experiencing poverty in rural areas.
