| Summary: | The organization, which is now called
the International Land Coalition (ILC), was established on
January 1, 1996, on the recommendation of the conference on
hunger and poverty convened by the International Fund for
Agricultural Development (IFAD) in 1995. At first, the
organization was called the popular coalition to eradicate
hunger and poverty. The ILC itself was formally constituted
and launched along with its new name in February 2003. The
mission of the land coalition has been to be a global
alliance of intergovernmental, governmental and civil
society organizations that worked together with rural poor
people to increase their secure access to natural resources,
especially land, and to enable them to participate directly
in policy formulation and decision-making processes that
affected their livelihood, at local, national, regional and
international levels. From its inception through the end of
2007, the ILC has mobilized $18.6 million in donations and
pledges receivable from donors. The major contributors have
been International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
(which has provided 48 percent of all resources), the
Netherlands, the European Commission, Netherlands, the World
Bank, Italy, and Belgium. The World Bank was a founding
member and provided a one-time financial contribution of
US$1.5 million from its development grant facility in 1998. |
