The LIWG consists mostly of international and local civil society organization staff and other individuals working on land issues in Lao PDR. The group has over 80 Core Members representing nearly 40 organizations, and over 180 individual Supporting Members. The LIWG activities are implemented through the LIWG Secretariat which is overseen by the Committee, elected from among the member organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The group was established so that its members could inform one another about land matters, especially in view of increasing land related foreign direct investment (FDI) projects and concerns over the negative impacts on the livelihoods of rural communities, as well as to develop common initiatives to address some of these issues. The LIWG does this by cooperating with a wide variety of stakeholders: civil society, Government, Development Partners, private sector, and, importantly, the communities themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_column tdi_9  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span4\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_9{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_9 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_9 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_9 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_9 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_9 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" >\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/laolandinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/466692_375205965831335_662705635_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"466692_375205965831335_662705635_o\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_10\" class=\"tdc-row stretch_row_1200 td-stretch-content\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_11  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_11,\r\n                .tdi_11 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_11,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_11 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_11 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_11:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_11:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_13  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_13{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_13 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_13 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_13 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_13 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_13 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" ><div class=\"td_block_wrap td_block_text_with_title tdi_14 tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_14\" ><div class=\"td-block-title-wrap\"><\/div><div class=\"td_mod_wrap td-fix-index\"><p>The LIWG has member organisations and independent consultants working on land related matters across Laos who are willing to engage actively in LIWG activities.

There is a growing competing interest over land, water and forests between large-scale investors and rural, often poor, communities relying on the same natural resources for their subsistence.<\/p>\n<p>Opening up of rural areas as a result of private investment is creating two possible paths for rural communities. In one direction is improved access to services, expansion of local employment opportunities, spread of environmentally sound practices, and more equitable participation in the development process. In the other direction is reduced access to land by smallholders who are pushed aside by concessionaires, a rapid outflow of young people, wildlife and forest products, and a consequent erosion of natural capital, human resources and cultural identity, creating a path towards an unsustainable extractive economy. The LIWG considers that action is urgently needed by all development partners to prevent this process.<\/p>\n<p>While industrial development sounds good in theory, in practice the absence of a comprehensive regulatory framework around investments in land concessions has led to land grabbing by largely foreign companies around the country. Many rural people experience negative effects of this land grab, such as loss of agriculture, grazing and resource rich forest lands with no compensation, contaminated rivers and streams, and very little benefit to rural communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"tdm_block td_block_wrap tdm_block_fancy_text_image tdi_49 td_block_fancy_text tdm-layout-12-12 tdm-content-horiz-left tdm-content-vert-top td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1 tdm-mobile-full\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_49\" >\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title{\r\n                  font-family: var(--td_default_google_font_2, 'Roboto', sans-serif);\r\n                  font-size: 155px;\r\n                  font-weight: bold;\r\n                  line-height: 106px;\r\n                  letter-spacing: -8px;\r\n                  margin-top: -5px;\r\n                  margin-bottom: -60px;\r\n                }.td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title span{\r\n                  display: block;\r\n                  word-break: break-word;\r\n                  padding: 10px 10px 47px 0;\r\n                }.td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title1{\r\n                  color: #333;\r\n                }.td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title2{\r\n                  color: #fff;\r\n                  text-shadow: 2px 8px 27px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\r\n                  top: -60px;\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                }.td_block_fancy_text .tdm-btn{\r\n                  margin-top: 10px;\r\n                  margin-bottom: 10px;\r\n                }.td_block_fancy_text.tdm-content-horiz-center .tdm-fancy-title span{\r\n                  margin: 0 auto;\r\n                }.td_block_fancy_text.tdm-content-horiz-right .tdm-fancy-title span{\r\n                  margin-left: auto;\r\n                }@media (min-width: 1019px) and (max-width: 1140px) {\r\n                  .td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title {\r\n                    font-size: 120px;\r\n                    line-height: 80px;\r\n                    letter-spacing: -6px;\r\n                  }\r\n                }@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1018px) {\r\n                  .td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title {\r\n                    font-size: 98px;\r\n                    line-height: 70px;\r\n                    letter-spacing: -4px;\r\n                  }\r\n                }@media (max-width: 767px) {\r\n                  .td_block_fancy_text .tdm-fancy-title {\r\n                    font-size: 72px;\r\n                    line-height: 44px;\r\n                    letter-spacing: -4px;\r\n                    margin-top: 40px;\r\n                    margin-bottom: -76px;\r\n                  }\r\n                }@media (max-width: 767px) {\r\n                  .td_block_fancy_text.tdm-flip-yes .tdm-fancy-title,\r\n                  .td_block_fancy_text.tdm-flip-yes .tdm-image {\r\n                    margin-top: 30px;\r\n                  }\r\n                }\n<\/style><div class=\"td-block-width\"><div class=\"td-block-row tdm-row td-fix-index\"><div class=\"td-block-span5 tdm-col tdm-col-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tdm-image\" src=\"https:\/\/laolandinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20180728_161632.jpg\" width=\"4608\" height=\"3456\" title=\"What\"><\/div><div class=\"td-block-span7 tdm-col\"><div class=\"tdm-text-wrap tdm-text-padding\"><h3 class=\"tdm-fancy-title\"><span class=\"tdm-fancy-title1\">What<\/span><span class=\"tdm-fancy-title2\">We Do<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"tdm-descr\">The Land Information Working Group (LIWG) is to provide a networking and information hub by acting as a bridging organisation and community of practice to create synergies across land tenure security-related activities of its members. The LIWG aims to focus on promoting and maintaining a strong network and Community of Practice on land matters among LIWG members in order to influence decision making, policy development and implementation via three following pillars (objectives):<br><br>\n<b>Pillar 1: Connecting.<\/b> Build connections and trust for dialogue and engagement in land governance issues Act as a community of practice and bridging organisation to connect network members, partners and key stakeholders, in order to build connections and trust, develop spaces and channels of communication, share knowledge for dialogue and engagement in land governance issues.<br><br>\n<b>Pillar 2: Mobilizing.<\/b> Mainstream grassroots implementation of land rights Encourage members to engage in activities that promote land governance at national through to local level, putting legislation and policies into practice, learning by doing, engaging directly with communities.<br><br>\n<b>Pillar 3: Engaging.<\/b> Promote policy dialogue among multiple stakeholders to improve land tenure security. Facilitate policy engagement processes between stakeholders, feed lessons learned from research and practice back into policy influencing and networking, and strengthen capacity of LIWG members to engage and participate in policy making processes particularly in linking policy to practice.
