Land:

Acting on the recommendations of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests of 2012, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated the Land Governance Multi Stakeholder Dialogue (LG MSD) in August 2014. The goal of this dialogue between financial institutions, industry, NGOs, knowledge institutions, and government, was to determine how to contribute effectively to the improvement of land governance in countries of the ‘global South’ where the Netherlands is active.
