Support to Implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheri

General

The Addendum to the project "Supporting Implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests" is aimed at (i) facilitating mainstreaming of VGGT and sharing of lessons across multiple countries and regions at Pan-African level and within the Sahel region. The expected output of the intervention includes integrated ALPC-FAO approach to land policy change at continental level, coordinated contextualization of FAO capacity development materials and learning programmes and a strategy for institutionalized integrated implementation of VGGT and F&G; (ii) improving governance of tenure in pastoralism in selected countries in West Africa within the Sahel region. This intervention is expected to result in improved governance of tenure in pastoralist communities through support to ECOWAS, awareness raising, contextualization of capacity development of ECOWAS and CSOs, compilation of best practices on mitigation, prevention and managing pastoralist conflicts and piloting the FAO Technical Guide on Governance of Pastoral Lands.
