Moving Towards Community Led Land and Agrarian Reform

General

There is no community level mechanism or model for poor and vulnerable people to access land in Nepal. This project will develop and pilot a Community Led Land and Agrarian Reform model for accessing land by land poor and other vulnerable people in Nepal's hill areas. More than 2,500 families in 5 Village Development Committees (VDCs) of 3 districts will be well aware of joint land ownership policy including land rights issues. Among them, at least 500 will have received joint land ownership. At least 50 land poor families will have gained access. A report on status of previous land lease programme will be used to contribute and influence land lease policy of Nepal.
