STAFF REATREAT
30th October 2009 to 1st Novovember2009

RECONCILE is in the process of designing a new strategic plan for the period 2010 to 2012.  This follows the lapse of the previous strategic plan that ran to December 2008.  It is the desire of the Institute to integrate the learning from the implementation of the first strategic plan in the preparation of the new plan.

Putting the grassroot mechanism into practice
2nd November 2009 to 3rd November 2009

The workshop is organized against the backdrop of progressive development and implementation of many land policies despite the existing weak grassroots participation, leading to failures and outcomes that do not assist women or people living in poverty. The Global Land Tools Network (GLTN), an ILC member, is thus developing the Grassroots Mechanism as a way of promoting the development and up-scaling of land policy tools in a way that allows grassroots groups to play a meaningful guiding role. ILC is supporting this process, while at the same time seeking to build greater linkages between the rural civil society members of ILC and the GLTN network, including both the GLTN secretariat and its civil society partners such as Slum Dwellers International, Hakijamii Trust and Huairou Commission.

RECONCILE, an ILC member based in Kenya, is requested to coordinate logistical arrangements of the event on behalf of the ILC Secretariat.
