Zambia Land Alliance is a network of NGOs working for just land policies and laws that take into account the interests of the poor. The formation of the alliance was necessitated by the Zambian Government’s Land Reform process initiated in the early 1990s.
The organization promotes secured access, ownership and control over land through lobbying and advocacy, research and community participation. ZLA's vision is a Zambia in which the rural and urban poor have secured access, ownership and control over land for development.
ZLA is a platform for collective action committed to promoting equitable access and secured ownership of land by the rural poor, through lobbying and advocacy, networking, research and community partnership.
ZLA does not provide land to those who need it. Its role is to share information with the public and lobby for just land laws and policies that take into account the interests of the poor. The Land Alliance’s projects are carried out by member organizations.
