From ILC external evaluation

• There is now more than ever a need for effective
  mechanisms that encourage and foster dialogue
  about land issues. Dialogue is particularly
  needed given the fact that land issues tend to be
  not only technical questions, but issues with
  highly sensitive political and social
  implications. This presents a very positive
  context for an organization like ILC, whose
  mission and objectives seem to be even more
  relevant today than they were a decade ago

• ILC works for landless and people with the most
  insecure land rights and thegreatest
  vulnerability to landlessness

• small and marginalized farmers, especially women
• people reliant on common property resources,
  including forest dwellers indigenous peoples
  pastoralists
• people negatively affected by extractive
  industries, conservation and tourism
• people affected by land-related conflicts.
