Launch LANDac

IS Academy on Land Governance

LANDac is the IS Academy on Land Governance for Equitable and Sustainable Development and aims at bringing together researchers, policy makers and development practitioners in the field of land governance and development. LANDac is a partnership between several Dutch organisations and their Southern partners involved in development-related research, policy and practise. The partners share a concern for increasing land inequality and new land-related conflicts. How can land governance – rules and practices on access to land – be used to promote equitable and sustainable development in the Global South?

On Wednesday 19 May 2010 LANDac will be officially launched at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague
