Promoting Food Security and Sustainable Development in Africa by Improving Secure Access to Land and Protecting Tenure Rights - GCP/GLO/539/EC
Principles of responsible governance of tenure were integrated into local, national and regional level policies and programmes , ensuring that both the Voluntary Guidelines and the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa are used to capacitate key stakeholders and secure legitimate tenure rights. Awareness was raised among more than 2 000 people at high level meetings (32 percent of them women), involving more than 30 countries, in an effort to increase the knowledge of policy makers, continental institutions, customary institutions, civil society organizations, farmer organizations and key stakeholders on the importance of using the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) and the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G) in an integrated way, to improve governance of tenure. The project also undertook significant capacity development efforts, with 735 change agents (30 percent of them women) comprising policy makers, parliamentarians, traditional authorities, academia, civil society and the private sector forming a critical mass of well capacitated beneficiaries around whom tenure reforms can be woven for sustainable change. A further 4 197 people (31 percent of them women) were reached through the dissemination of knowledge products, including both sets of guidelines and their technical guides. A web based knowledge management platform was successfully developed to provide a one stop access point for information on the transversal and all in country projects, while eight capitalization meetings were held to provide a platform for project implementation teams to exchange the experiences and lessons learned during the project period.
