Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.
7

Inclusive decision-making

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

IED's mission is to contribute to the carrying out of equitable and sustainable development in Africa, through policies and practices based on inclusion, participation and good governance.

Objectives

The organisation's objectives are to attain the local governance and decentralisation (working for the instauration of local and decentralised practices that are based on the building of inclusive and transparent institutions and on genuine citizen participation), and of sustainable agriculture and agricultural innovation.

Constituencies

The target groups are local communities with different communities (men, women, youth, farmers and livestock farmers). Other actors such as local governments are also specific target groups. Furthermore, the organisation aims to reach media, researchers and parliamentarians.
