Building on more than 10 years of land governance investment and progress in the Mekong Region
DISCOVER THE MEKONG LAND INITIATIVE
Investment, debt and climate change are reshaping land in the Mekong. Laws are stronger, but enforcement gaps hold back the rights of smallholder farmers, women and ethnic groups. Running to 2030, MLI builds on the Mekong Region Land Governance (MRLG) programme, tackling that gap through national alliances of government, civil society and business.
Research, policy briefs and toolkits on land tenure and responsible land-based investment.
Solutions grounded in local realities, for regional learning
WHERE WE WORK
MLI works through diverse alliances in each country, which ensures lessons come from those closest to the land. Our regional approach means lessons travel across borders, so progress in one country can strengthen practice in another.
