The National Land Commission (NLC) of Kenya is a constitutional body established in 2012 under the National Land Commission Act. It operates within the framework of the Kenyan Constitution, specifically Chapter 15, to manage public land on behalf of both national and county governments. The NLC's primary functions include overseeing land management, resolving disputes, and facilitating land allocation through strategic initiatives and public engagement.

The Commission plays a vital role in handling compulsory land acquisitions, ensuring fair compensation, and advocating for effective land administration practices. Notably, it has developed programs such as Haki kwa Ground Atlas to enhance transparency and accessibility to land information. The NLC also hosts regional conferences, providing a platform for dialogue on land-related issues and promoting partnerships for sustainable land use.

With a commitment to addressing historical land injustices and streamlining land management processes, the NLC is dedicated to fostering equitable land development in Kenya, making it a pivotal institution in the nation’s growth and governance.
