Landesa is a Washington, DC-based organization that empowers millions of women and men by providing them with secure land rights, which they can use to improve their lives. They work in partnership with progressive governments and civil society in Asia and Africa to develop pro-poor and gender-sensitive laws, policies, and programs that strengthen land rights for people experiencing extreme poverty. Landesa's land rights experts collaborate with government officials, local leaders, and rural residents to develop scalable and innovative solutions to pressing issues such as food insecurity, conflict, climate change, and women's lack of empowerment.
With a focus on the connection between land rights and significant global challenges, Landesa believes that strong, legal rights to land can provide people in rural areas with the opportunity, security, and incentive to invest in their land and improve their harvests and lives. They champion the power of land rights as a fundamental building block for a safer and more prosperous future, addressing concerns over food security, environmental sustainability, poverty cycles, and land conflicts. Landesa invites individuals to join the global land rights movement and make a gift to support their work.
