    Why land
    Land provides us with the water, food, and natural resources that sustain all life. It is the guarantor of biodiversity, health, resilience, and equitable and sustainable communities. Whether or not we live from it directly, the fruits of our land are the building blocks of our collective future.

SEEDS

Member since: 2018

Working towards these commitments

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations and are based on: the free, prior and informed consent of existing land users; a thorough assessment of economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts with respect to both women and men; democratic planning and independent oversight; and transparent contracts that respect labour rights, comply with social and fiscal obligations and are specific and binding on the sharing of responsibilities and benefits. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.
9

Effective actions against land grabbing

Respect and protect the civil and political rights of human rights defenders working on land issues, combat the stigmatization and criminalisation of peaceful protest and land rights activism, and end impunity for human rights violations, including harassment, threats, violence and political imprisonment
10

Protected land rights defenders

Mission

The main goal of SEEDS is to develop and empower youth communities in order to become collaborative leaders and productive members of their communities. 

Objectives

SEEDS enables youth to get to know Jordan from a different perspective, to meet the locals and have an insight into Jordan culture, learn new skills, gain international understanding, make new friends from all over the world, and, in the meantime,  give something back to their environment and community. The organisation aims to empower, inform and expand the horizons of people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds, to become aware of the world in which they live and to take an active role in their  future sustainable development. 

Constituencies

SEEDS is a local NGO involved in developing youth development ,empowering women, and promoting environmental protection and awareness, and intercultural understanding and peace, through the national territory of Jordan.
