Abstract:
This information sheet discusses the process “Commercial pressures on land: rethinking policies and practice for development” which was carried out within the framework of the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN). With a view to generating the information needed to influence policies that tackle the mounting pressure on land, the Centre for Development Studies (University of Groningen), Oxfam Novib, and the International Land Coalition initiated this one-year DPRN process in February 2009. The process aimed to bring various partners together to let them rethink current policies and practice and look for opportunities for the poor under increasing commercial land pressure.
