Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUNCCD-FAO Initiative on land tenure

2024Also available in:
No results found.Since a decision of the Parties of the UNCCD Convention during UNCCD COP14, the Parties keep on reiterating the need to better integrate tenure security into land degradation neutrality initiatives. To answer this call the UNCCD-FAO initiative carried out the design of a technical guide on this matter, and then supported a first group of five countries to organize national consultations to reflect and discuss on how better integrate tenure security into land degradation neutrality initiatives (answering the call of the UNCCD COP15 Decision on land tenure). This leaflet presents an overview of the UNCCD-FAO Initiative process to support a first group of five countries (Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Mexico, and Senegal), relying also on support from FAO national offices and external partners, in some cases aligning with ongoing multistakeholder platforms and capacity building programmes. These national consultations were based on a multistakeholder approach involving government, civil society organizations, local communities and private sector. They were tailored for each of the five countries, focusing on specific development challenges and the most relevant pathways to catalyze action in terms of policy and implementation. -
Book (series)Changes in in "customary" land tenure systems in Africa 2006
Also available in:
No results found.Across rural Africa, land legislation struggles to be properly implemented, and most resource users gain access to land on the basis of local land tenure systems. Although such systems claim to draw their legitimacy from “tradition” and are commonly referred to as “customary” (and for easier reading we will follow this terminology), they have been profoundly changed by decades of colonial and post-independence government interventions, and are continually adapted and reinterpreted as a result of diverse factors like cultural interactions, population pressures, socio-economic change and political processes. Such land tenure systems are extremely diverse, possibly changing from village to village. This diversity is the result of a range of cultural, ecological, social, economic and political factors.
