The “Joint Action for Land Rights” is a project jointly implemented by the Asian NGO
Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC), Balay Alternative
Legal Advocates for Development in Mindanaw, Inc. (BALAOD Mindanaw), Solidarity
Towards Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (Kaisahan), and People In Need (PIN).
JALR contributes to the work of civil society organizations, including human rights
organizations, working with vulnerable and socially excluded groups with particular focus
on supporting the empowerment of farmers and indigenous peoples to claim their rights,
including protecting the rights of human rights defenders. The project is supported by the European Union’s
European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EU-EIDHR).
Founded in 1979, the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC)
is a regional association of national and regional networks of non-government organizations
(NGOs) in Asia actively engaged in promoting food security, agrarian reform, sustainable
agriculture, participatory governance, and rural development.
ANGOC member networks and partners work in 14 Asian countries with an effective reach
of some 3,000 NGOs and community-based organizations (CBOs). ANGOC actively engages
in joint field programs and policy debates with national governments, intergovernmental
organizations (IGOs), and international financial institutions (IFIs).
The complexity of Asian realities and diversity of NGOs highlight the need for a
development leadership to service the poor of Asia—providing a forum for articulation of their needs and
aspirations as well as expression of Asian values and perspectives.
