About

Landesa partners with governments and local organizations to secure land rights for rural women and men living in extreme poverty. Through fee‑for‑service consulting, research, and policy program development, the organization helps developing‑country stakeholders create and implement legal frameworks that give the world’s poorest populations clear, enforceable ownership of the land they depend on. By strengthening land tenure, Landesa enables beneficiaries to invest in their farms, leading to higher productivity, improved nutrition, health, education, and long‑term economic resilience.
