What is a people's organisation?

People's organisations are defined as organisations that directly represent people depending upon land and are accountable to them. The constituency the organization represents are indigenous peoples, youth, women, pastoralists, rural workers, rural community members, fishers, landless, forest dwellers and users, peasants and hunter gatherers , afro descendants, quilombolas, adivasi and dalit. NGOs that work closely with people depending upon land but do not represent them are not People's Organisations.

Where is the organisation located?

What sector does your organisation work in?

Respondents should choose the sector that best reflects their affiliation. If no sector presented accurately describes the respondent's affiliation, the Other option should be selected.

While non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can be considered within the broader sector of civil society organizations (CSOs), we provide both options to reflect different understandings of these terms in diverse contexts. The UNDP defines CSOs as "voluntary organizations with governance and direction coming from citizens or constituency members, without significant government-controlled participation or representation," and NGOs "as a subset of CSOs involved in development cooperation." Organizations that have chosen to identify as NGOs in LANDex include the Mongolian Land Management Association (MLMA), the Association of Senegalese Lawyers (AJS) and the Peruvian Center for Social Studies (CEPES). Organizations that have identified as CSOs in LANDex include the Kyrgyz Association of Forest and Land Users, the Citizen Observatory in Chile and the Center for Environment and Development (CED) in Cameroon.
