En janvier 2021, l’Etat du Burundi a mis en place une institution réputée pour son important rôle dans la gestion des conflits communautaires et, partant, la transformation positive de la société.

Uganda has a complex land tenure system. Four tenure systems officially recognized by the 1995 Constitution coexist: freehold, Mailo, leasehold, and customary tenure. While undocumented customary tenure dominates in the country (UNPS 2013/2014 data estimates that 84% of parcels are held customarily), Mailo tenure is predominant in the central and parts of the western regions. Around 10% of Uganda’s land (in surface) is held under Mailo tenure, possibly
more.

Land is being degraded rapidly worldwide. Our current agricultural practices are causing soils worldwide to be eroded up to 100 times faster than natural processes replenish them. At this critical moment, enabling the full contribution of women to halting land degradation and tackling drought is needed now more than ever.

Women comprise nearly half of the world’s agricultural workforce, producing 60–80 per cent of the food grown in developing countries1, so are poised to lead on sustainable land management practices while keeping their families and communities fed.

This analysis examines agricultural investment in the Mekong region, focusing on Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, to promote Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI). It highlights the transition from large agricultural concessions to contract farming since the 1980s and the current efforts to develop supportive policies, such as Cambodia’s Contract Farming Law, Laos’ guidelines on contract farming, and Vietnam’s revised Land Law.

Centro Terra Viva (CTV) has extensive experience in actions aimed at promoting the defence of communities' rights to land and other natural resources, namely monitoring environmental licensing processes for land-based investments (extractive industry), accompanying resettlement processes, public and community consultations, research and studies in the context of biodiversity protection and conservation, particularly in the areas of conservation, legal assistance and advice, including training programmes.

This report provides new data about the current and potential future losses and damages from climate-attributable weather events in the Sahel and Horn of Africa, with a specific focus on the agriculture and livestock sectors.

The Mekong Region has experienced rapid agrarian change over the past two decades, driven by public sector policies promoting agricultural commercialisation to alleviate rural poverty, provide income opportunities, and modernize agricultural production systems. This transition has radically altered rural landscapes across the region, including Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Considering the challenges of conflict management, mediation, and dispute resolution in numerous countries, several LAND-at-scale (LAS) interventions aim to strengthen and improve access to institutions of dispute resolution. Recent LAS interventions build on previous efforts since 2002 by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to strengthen land tenure security, increasingly recognising durable and equitable solutions, especially for marginalised people.
