Global Donor Working Group on Land launched

During the Donor Roundtable Meeting in Washington on the margins of the annual land and poverty conference at the World Bank on 12 April 2013 participants agreed to establish a new Global Donor Working Group on Land. This was in recognition of the increased attention to land issues following the first global food price spike in 2007/08, the huge relevance of land tenure rights and good land governance for food security and sustainable development, and the need for donors to be able to share information systematically and improve coordination on a continuous basis.
