To Train CBI Members on the Evidence Generation and Dissemination through Research

1.0 Introduction
The International Land Coalition (ILC) is a global alliance of over 260 Civil Society and Inter-Governmental Organizations in 78 countries. Through the Coalition, members work towards one goal – bringing about people centered land governance.
The Mission of ILC is a global alliance of civil society and intergovernmental organizations working together to put people at the center of land governance, while the vision is a just, equitable, and inclusive world in which land rights are secure and poverty is eradicated.

2.0 Commitment Based Initiatives (CBI)
The Commitment-Based Initiatives (CBIs) are regional and global mechanisms through which members engage with each other to advance change at country and regional levels. They are usually focused on members learning from each other (South–South cooperation) and complementing each other’s work, while jointly influencing public policies. Over the past three years, ILC members have launched and consolidated 38 CBIs in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbeans.
The Africa CBI members are grouped in regions; that is Southern, Western, Eastern, Northern and Central Africa all have different projects they are implementing focusing on Women land Rights (WLRs). The CBI4 Southern Region is led by Zambia Land Alliance. To enhance the effectiveness of promoting WLRs, the CBI4 members require a Resource person(s) to train members on Research Tools, Evidence Generation and Dissemination of the research findings to their target audiences.

3.0 Problem statement
CBI and the ILC are platforms that exists to enhance land rights of people in Africa and the advocacy work requires that members are vested with timely and correct information about an advocacy issue and how the information can be used as an advocacy tool. However, the challenge has been that most of the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) lack in research experiences and skills so much that they always engage a consultant to carry out research and even carry out survey instead of them doing it themselves.
