Synopsis (short abstract) Land Tenure Working Paper 12: The Participatory and Negotiated Territorial Development (PNTD) methodology is a facilitative process developed by FAO that strives for rural development through negotiation, participation and dialogue. In view of the growing competition over limited resources among actors and territories and the decreasing credibility of public administrations, this approach focuses on establishing and maintaining social dialogue within the territory and restructuring and/or stre ngthening territorial institutions. Intermediary level institutions have an important role in integrating the territory and its actors in the existing governance framework. The ultimate goal, and thus the emphasis of the approach, is not the preparation of a development plan or a territorial pact in itself, but, rather, facilitating the process and dynamics that lead to such agreements. In this respect, consultation and openness towards a social dialogue between different stakeholders who have differing interests represent a fundamental step in the process. The proposed approach assumes an inherent learning process with the objective of increasing social cohesion, strengthening the bargaining power of the marginalized, increasing people’s and institutions’ organizational capacities and improving their access to information and channels of communication, and their abilities to use these for their own development.

    Le développement territorial participatif et négocié – plus qu’une méthodologie. Une stratégie d’interaction et d’intégration territoriale

    Document de travail sur les régimes fonciers 12. L’émergence de la territorialité dans le débat actuel sur le développement rural n’est pas un hasard, mais la résultante des importantes mutations sociales et économiques que connaissent la plupart des pays, dans le cadre de la mondialisation. Elle répond au besoin d’adapter les méthodologies, les outils et les activités aux nouvelles exigences imposées par ces mutations et de traiter leurs conséquences inopportunes. Enfin, le concept de territori alité ouvre un point de vue nouveau et différent sur les questions territoriales et permet une implication directe des populations rurales dans l’élaboration et la mise en oeuvre de nouvelles perspectives de développement.

    Policies have considerable impact on people’s livelihoods. They influence the access people have to livelihoods assets and the strategic possibilities for employing these assets to reach favourable livelihoods outcomes. However, policies developed at central level are often not responsive to the policy needs at local level and, therefore, not conducive to local livelihood strategies. Local populations, especially poor and marginalized groups, have often a very weak or only indirect inf luence on the policy framework affecting their livelihoods. The development and application of tested strategies and institutional mechanisms to support the participation of the rural poor in policy making would facilitate the generation of policy frameworks to reduce poor people’s vulnerability and enable their access to the assets and services they require to pursue sustainable livelihoods. There are few documented experiences of participatory policy making (PPM) involving the ru ral poor, and still less analysis of those that have been documented. Nevertheless, it is possible to draw some initial lessons from these that would aid in the development of strategies and mechanisms to support the participation of poor people in policy making.

    In Niger, the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) led to the construction of the process called États généraux du foncier rural, which triggered the elaboration of a national land policy based on an inclusive and participatory approach. This factsheet highlights the outcomes and impacts.
