Synopsis (short abstract) The purpose of these Voluntary Guidelines is to serve as a reference and to provide guidance to improve the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests with the overarching goal of achieving food security for all and to support the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security. These Guidelines are intended to contribute to the global and national efforts towards the eradication of hunger and poverty, based on the principles of sustainable development and with the recognition of the centrality of land to development by promoting secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests. The eradication of hunger and poverty, and the sustainable use of the environment, depend in large measure on how people, communities and others gain access to land, fisheries and forests. The livelihoods of many, particularly the rural poor, are based on secure and equitable access to and control over these resources. They are the source of food and shelter; the basis for social, cultural and religious practices; and a central factor in economic growth.Les présentes Directives ont été adoptées par le CSA dans sa trente-huitième session (extraordinaire) le 11 mai 2012. These Guidelines were endorsed by the CFS at its Thirty-eighth (Special) Session on 11 May 2012.

    The livelihoods of millions of people, particularly the rural poor, depend on secure and equitable access to and control over land, fisheries, forests and other natural resources. Sustainable actions are needed to protect these people’s tenure rights. The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) and the African Union’s Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G) provide internationally agreed principles to promote better governance of tenure as a step towards eradicating hunger and poverty, supporting sustainable development and enhancing the environment. Through its Land Governance Programme , the European Union has supported 18 countries on the African country and beyond to use these instruments to improve tenure governance. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) used its expertise in the field of land governance to provide transversal support to the programme’s country level projects. This project represented Phase II of FAO’s support, focusing on integrating eight new country projects into the programme , filling gaps identified in Phase I, and promoting the incorporation of principles of responsible tenure governance into national land policy development.

    Land, fisheries, forests and other natural resources provide a platform for livelihoods and a basis for social, cultural and religious practices. Pressure on these resources is increasing as areas are sought for cultivation, are occupied by urban expansion and as people abandon areas because of degradation, climate change and conflicts. In response, FAO and its partners initiated the preparation of internationally accepted guidelines to enhance governance of tenure of land, fisheries and f orests. The Guidelines promote secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests as a means of eradicating hunger and poverty, supporting sustainable development and enhancing the environment. They were officially endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security on 11 May 2012.
