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.

Dans les zones rurales, où l’agriculture est la principale source de subsistance, la terre est bien plus qu’une simple ressource économique ; elle est essentielle à l’identité et à la culture des communautés. L’insécurité foncière, souvent causée par des conflits, des politiques foncières mal définies ou des systèmes de propriété inadéquats, peut mener à des déplacements de populations et à une utilisation inefficace des terres.

Au Burkina Faso, depuis ces trente dernières années, le foncier fait l’objet d’une attention particulière, tant au niveau des pouvoirs publics que des communautés villageoises, en raison de son importance stratégique pour le développement socioéconomique et la préservation de la paix sociale et des écosystèmes.

Cette situation a conduit le gouvernement à opérer des réformes foncières qui ont abouti à l’élaboration d’une politique nationale de sécurisation foncière en milieu rural adoptée par décret.

L’outil Mobile Application to Secure Tenure (MAST) joue un rôle crucial dans le processus de sécurisation foncière au Burkina Faso. Ce système numérique permet une meilleure collaboration entre les acteurs impliqués et simplifie le processus de délimitation des terres.
