With the tentative theme of ‘Strengthening Global Partnerships”the meeting aims at further strengthening the global partnership towards sustaining the paradigm shift in the development and implementation of pro-poor land tools and approaches and in the promotion of alternative land tenure and land management systems to improve tenure security within the land governance framework.
Specifically, the meeting intends to achieve the following:

- To share and identify partners’ key priorities and programmes related to the achievement of the GLTN agenda to improve synergies and interactions;
- To strengthen working relationships and collaboration between and among partners within their own sectors/clusters and across other sectors/clusters towards addressing emerging global challenges in the land sector;
- To decide on representations to the International Advisory Board (IAB) and to agree on further improving the current arrangements and feedback mechanisms;
- To review GLTN’s experience on partnership and networking and provide strategic recommendations and directions to further strengthen the Network; and
