    The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) have been promoted by FAO through several initiatives at global, regional and national level. The projects assessed achieved significant results in the areas of awareness raising and capacity development, policy dialogue, influence, and, to a lesser extent, legal and policy reform processes. At regional level and continental level, the VGGT were integrated in several instruments, linking local and national tenure agendas with relevant broader frameworks. At global level, FAO continued to influence global dialogue, particularly through the development and distribution of VGGT technical materials as public goods. The evaluation emphasized the need to invest in political economy analysis and to strengthen integration with other actors. Increased attention could be paid to identify ways to increase linkages between capacity development and multisectoral dialogue on the one hand, and decision-making processes on the other.

    Communal Tenure and the Governance of Common Property Resources in Asia
    Lessons of experiences in selected countries
    2011
    Also available in:

    Land Tenure Working Paper 20. This paper presents an analysis of communal tenure and its role for natural resource management system, in different contexts of selected Asian countries. The current market driven pressures on natural resources create both challenges and opportunities for communities and governments to use and strengthen communal tenure in order to promote sustainable management of some natural resources. Overall, policies and institutions that promote accountability and good gover nance over these resources, both by the government at national and local level and by communities, are required. Communal tenure will also very likely play a significant role in the policies and actions for climate change mitigation (REDD and REDD+).
