African Land Rights Workshop and International Land Coalition collaboration

General

This project supported a workshop in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, that brought a group of five IDRC-funded projects together under a cohort of projects in Africa entitled “Using action research to improve land rights and governance for communities, women, and vulnerable groups”. The projects are at their mid-point and the workshop aimed to share findings and identify opportunities for joint dissemination of findings in the remaining period of project activities. The partners are from Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, and Sierra Leone. To amplify these efforts, the workshop was planned as part of the International Land Commission’s regional forum in Africa and immediately preceded the African Land Policy Centre’s conference, a joint initiative of the African Union Commission, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the African Development Bank.
