Mission


Our mission is to build a fairer, more sustainable world, using evidence, action and influence in partnership with others.


Who we are


IIED is one of the world’s most influential international development and environment policy research organisations. Founded in 1971 by economist Barbara Ward, who forged the concept and cause of sustainable development, we work with partners on five continents. We build bridges between policy and practice, rich and poor communities, the government and private sector, and across diverse interest groups. We contribute to many international policy processes and frameworks, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the UN conventions on climate change and biological diversity.


What we do


IIED carries out research, advice and advocacy work. We carry out action research — generating robust evidence and know-how that is informed by a practical perspective acquired through hands-on research with grassroots partners — and we publish in journals and maintain high research standards. We advise government, business and development agencies, and we argue for changes in public policy. We focus on bottom-up solutions, stay open to flexible, adaptable solutions and are marked by a tradition of challenging conventional wisdom through original thinking.

Land reforms in Guinea

Policy Papers & Briefs
februari, 2021
Guinea

In Guinea, the land legislation and successive reform processes have shown their limits in dealing with the proliferation of major land and natural resource development projects in rural areas. The government has recently launched new land governance reforms. To ensure that the reforms are a success, several major challenges will need to be addressed as a priority. These challenges include the weak or non-existent recognition of collective customary rights of local communities, inadequate dispute resolution processes and inequitable land access for women.
