Landesa partners with developing country governments to design and implement laws, policies, and programs concerning land that provide opportunity, further economic growth, and promote social justice. 0 0 3660152 11351 The number one predictor of poverty in India is not caste or education level, but landlessness. Landesa helps improve the lives of India's rural poor through innovative programs and policy work designed to strengthen the land rights of the country's 18 million families who are poor, rural, and landless, and the millions more who lack legal documentation for their land. To accomplish this, Landesa partners with national and state governments to improve rural land ownership, strengthen the land rights of women and girls, increase land tenure security through legal aid, and promote land leasing reforms. Through its work in eight states for more than a decade, Landesa has provided secure land rights to more than 1 million families, giving them an opportunity to grow a better future. 2035453 1538585 Landesa's global work includes efforts to strengthen land rights in new geographies and across thematic areas. Landesa began work in partnership with the government of Myanmar on reforms to the country's land rights policies, including technical advice and support for Myanmar's first National Land Use Policy and historic land distribution program. The land distribution program will help Myanmar address a vexing problem: how to help the country's more than 3 million rural landless families trapped in extreme poverty. As part of our cross-cutting work, Landesa also advises corporations and other actors in the private sector on how to integrate land rights best practices in their operations. This work includes the Responsible Investment in Property and Land project, which is developing a series of guidebooks to help stakeholders - including governments, investors, and communities - involved in large-scale land investments. 997747 215549 Although women make up an estimated 43 percent of the agricultural workforce in developing countries, in many parts of the world they are denied equal rights to access, use, inherit, control, and own land. This leaves them vulnerable to displacement and exploitation, and hampers their ability to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. As one of the pillars of its strategy, Landesa integrates a gender lens across its programs. The Landesa Center for Women's Land Rights champions policy reform and innovative programs to strengthen the rights of women to own and inherit land, and is building a network of women's land rights professionals to collaborate and share best practices. With secure rights to land, women have access to a productive resource to help themselves, their families, and their communities thrive. 2629355 624651 Landesa works in other core geographies, including in China and in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, on policy work and programs to strengthen the land rights of rural families. All of Landesa's program work is subject to rigorous standards of monitoring and evaluation. This process facilitates internal learning for future projects and in many cases expands the understanding of land-related interventions among the global development community. Landesa further disseminates project learning and elevates the issue of land rights on the global stage through the use of strategic communications. These efforts help ensure greater awareness of the issue, greater attention and resources, and an increase in partnerships within the development community. Our global advocacy work seeks to establish land rights as a key tool for resolving persistent development challenges. This includes incorporating land rights within the targets and indicators of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. To help nurture the coming generations of land rights advocates, Landesa invests in internship and fellowships with undergraduate and graduate students through our Foundations in Land Tenure program. 2629355 624651 9322707 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 17 0 1 57 1 0 1 IN CH 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 16 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY X X Steve Vitalich 2065285880 1424 Fourth Ave Suite 300 Seattle WA 98101 Matt Bannick Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 David Barclay Director, Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Cardillo Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Grumm Director, Board Chair 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Houssian Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Titi Liu Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Vikesh Mahendroo Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 George Martin Director, Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike McGavick Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Ogden Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Potter Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Roy Prosterman Director 20.00 X 15000 0 0 Jill Ruckelshaus Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sandra Taylor Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Veneman Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Wilkinson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Jochnick President & CEO 40.00 X 93089 0 9984 Lisa Ellis Chief Operating Officer 51.00 X 17371 0 793 Steve Vitalich Controller 41.00 X 99382 0 9845 David Bledsoe Senior Attorney 41.00 X 142201 0 22557 Diana Fletschner Senior Director 56.00 X 125096 0 15331 Tim Hanstad Co-Founder & Senior Advisor 57.00 X 212851 0 21426 Li Ping Senior Attorney 42.00 X 145726 0 15734 Robert Mitchell Senior Director 42.00 X 140435 0 23397 991151 0 119067 11 0 1 0 Kiwanja Foundation 1110 Vermont Ave NW Washington DC 20005 Land Rights Consulting 290000 Search for Common Ground 1601 Connecticut Ave Suite 200 Washington DC 20009 Land Rights Consulting 268574 Tides Center PO Box 29907 San Francisco CA 94129 Land Rights Consulting 225812 Haguruka KG 11 Avenue 138 Kigali RW Land Rights Consulting 170323 Resource Equity 3238A S Edmunds St Seattle WA 98118 Land Rights Consulting 143945 5 207446 12416936 24841 12624382 Contract Revenue 900099 2390136 2390136 2390136 6997 6997 49425 49842 -417 -417 -417 8085 207446 54320 -46235 -46235 14974863 2390136 0 -39655 X 507816 32623 475193 5193618 3939506 703747 550365 111722 75509 19547 16666 669229 511623 105049 52557 340651 207294 86592 46765 12966 12516 450 44916 37035 5401 2480 1825533 1812796 8588 4149 51242 45462 1600 4180 136652 102643 9740 24269 187074 143765 22150 21159 599957 508818 62463 28676 1258482 1206086 10049 42347 28646 19993 5930 2723 Project Operations Cost 599909 577765 4814 17330 Telecommunications 58857 50895 5457 2505 Recruitment and Trainin 44992 38378 4066 2548 11672262 9322707 1530836 818719 3293716 1901061 1310825 3860244 2203396 3915282 727946 1295519 492399 302137 374459 316919 21608 57540 8049890 11331783 810679 766655 85859 109175 896538 875830 X 1300331 2465278 5853021 7990675 7153352 10455953 8049890 11331783 3302601 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 7939360 10179694 9418353 7570464 12624382 47732253 7939360 10179694 9418353 7570464 12624382 47732253 22157613 25574640 23967 9844 2947 3145 6997 46900 47779153 7243047 0.53530 0.62540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 259181 237476 21705 115278 79443 35835 57540 India Gratuity Liability 109175 109175 15144359 169496 169496 14974863 0 14974863 11841758 169496 169496 11672262 0 11672262 1 east asia and the pacific 1 6 program services pro poor land rights program 864247 South Asia 7 86 program services pro poor land rights program 3660152 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 program services pro poor land rights program 767480 8 92 0 0 8 92 5291879 0 5291879 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part I, Line 2: We receive monthly reports outlining program services and monthly financial reports.
