Enhancinh Global and Nutritional Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests - GCP/GLO/347/UK

Many countries face a number of challenges concerning governance of land, fisheries and forests. Transfers of legitimate tenure rights are made in an environment of insecure tenure and with high risk, and the result is often a loss for all involved. The pressure on land, fisheries and forests has accelerated the stress faced by the world’s growing population, and environmental degradation and climate change further reduce the availability of land, fisheries and forests. If countries comply with the principles and good practice as set out in the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT), they will invariably improve the governance of their tenure systems and will promote sustainable social and economic development that can help eradicate poverty and food insecurity, and encourage responsible investment. The Department for International Development (DFID)-funded project was part of the wider FAO umbrella programme funded by a range of resource partners to support the implementation of the VGGT globally.
