AMMAN Jordan is preparing to host the ninth Global Land Forum, being the first host-country in the region, with the aim to highlight land-related issues nationally, regionally and globally.
Organised by the International Land Coalition (ILC), the forum is a triannual meeting that brings together NGOs, research centres, government agencies, institutions and community-based organisations in the hosting country to build a vision and roadmap for land governance based on local and national priorities, according to the ILC website.
“The Kingdom will host the first Global Land Forum-Youth, a space for young people where they would debate and define their own agenda,” Raed Gharib, CEO of SEEDS Jordan, a nonprofit organisation that invests in the power of young people, to face global challenges, and one of the board members of the ILC, told The Jordan Times on Tuesday.
