Lessons from research on multi-stakeholder processes
ABOUT
The International Land Coalition believes in multi-stakeholder partnerships. People-centred land governance is by definition a multi-stakeholder process; decision‑making over land needs to involve all who have a stake in it, not least those who live on it.
Given the growing interest in partnerships, there is a need to draw from evidence of effective and equitable practices and explore how those lessons can be applied to other contexts. This report – based on a review of the literature and an examination of six multi-stakeholder partnerships involving government and CSOs – addresses this evidence gap in order to deepen our practical understanding of the factors that foster successful partnerships, while also acknowledging and addressing their limitations.
