We are proud to say that the Land Portal has become far and wide the world’s leading source of data and information on land, with more than 30,000 visits a month, a majority of which are from the Global South. The Land Portal now counts more than 760 land-related indicators from 45 datasets aggregated from trusted sources around the world. This great diversity of information feeds into a dozen thematic portfolios and more than 60 country portfolios that combine data with the latest news, relevant publications, organizations and more.

Land Portal is leading the way on the adoption of open data and making land governance information more accessible. We brought together the land governance community for the Partnership for Action workshop to set the stage for building an information ecosystem on land governance, resulting in an action plan on data collection, management and dissemination. The Land Portal’s approach to capacity building was further refined at a workshop in Pretoria, South Africa, which created a great deal of momentum to adopt open data practices in this country
