Displaying 771 - 775 of 2117African 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.
Enhancing the resilience of alternative food systems in informal settings in Latin America and the Caribbean t
General
In Latin America and the Caribbean, as elsewhere, low-income and marginalized communities have seen their vulnerability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. They are experiencing greater food insecurity and are suffering more from the cascading impacts of natural hazards and climate change. Yet every day, they produce informal, bottom-up solutions to these problems, transforming public spaces, housing, and urban conditions at the margins of the authorities’ influences and plans. These bottom-up solutions are still not fully understood, and little is known about how conditions of urban informality — where infrastructure and services are scarce, land tenure is disputed, governance structures are fragile, and housing conditions are poor — influence the emergence, sustainability, and scaling of alternative food systems. These are food systems that are local, healthy, equitable, inclusive, and culturally relevant. This project seeks to explore: (a) how bottom-up informal solutions interact with food systems and contribute to making them more resilient to shocks such as climate change and pandemics; (b) how urban systems such as infrastructure and housing in informal settlements influence the resilience and vulnerability of alternative food systems and, by doing so, how they influence people’s capacity to deal with climate change impacts; and (c) the conditions for scaling impact, transferring results, and overcoming implementation barriers towards resilient alternative food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean. The aim is to use such knowledge to support on-the-ground, locally specific efforts to strengthen alternative food systems, as well as to generate and practice lessons related to the food system, with a view to reducing vulnerabilities and building resilience. The project will involve research, training, and implementation activities in four countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, and Cuba. It will also include networking and sharing of activities among the four countries as well as other countries of the Dry Corridor of Central America. It will produce new knowledge and yield policy changes through innovative explorations that combine empirical research, action research, and design. These activities will help enhance local capacity and interaction among community leaders, public officials, and academic partners, and better equip communities and institutions to address the challenges of food insecurity and natural hazards in the coming years.
Strengthening Indigenous Women’s Participation in Seeking Accountability in Land Conflicts in Papua, Indonesia
General
From 2013-2017, Asia Justice and Rights and the Papuan Women’s Working Group, a network of local organizations, conducted participatory action research involving 170 indigenous Papuan women to document the experiences of violence against indigenous women. One of the key findings was the lack of security related to tenure for natural resources and traditional lands, which impedes women’s empowerment and makes indigenous women vulnerable to continued violence and discrimination. A critical issue raised by Papuan women was weakening land rights and shrinking access to natural resources. Of the women involved in the research, 50% had experienced loss to their land, gardens, or forest due to land use change and government policy, or as an impact of a violent conflict. Building on the research findings, this project will develop the capacity of indigenous Papuan women in understanding their status of rights over land and natural resources. Post-conflict, Papua was granted special autonomy status in 2001, with provisions to ensure greater political and economic power to the indigenous Papuans. However, local people, especially women, have limited knowledge of mechanisms that were set up to include local voices in policymaking. This work carries the promise of systematically building capacity by developing a set of tools to assist Papuans, particularly women, to understand and assess the relevant challenges, develop appropriate strategies, and link to counterparts and institutions that can assist them. There is a clear need and demand for this work and a clear connection with national policy debates.
