ABSTRACTED FROM WEB INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In order to inform Myanmar’s first multi-stakeholder national dialogue workshop on land tenure and user rights (held November 24th & 25th, 2012), Forest Trend’s Senior Law & Policy Advisor Rob Oberndorf was asked to conduct an in-depth analysis of recently enacted land legislation in the country, and suggest ways in which the legal frameworks relating to rural land management could be improved. This report is the result of that research and analysis assignment. This review analyses the current laws and economic situation related to access to land for smallholder farmers in Myanmar. It makes recommendations for improvements to be written into policy and legislation, and institutions and mechanisms to be created, which will ensure smallholder farmers and especially women gain full legal protection of their land tenure rights.
