Kurze Beschreibung
The "Global Programme Responsible Land Policy" is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-funded by the European Union and runs from 2015 to 2026. The objective of the programme is to improve access to land for specific population groups, particularly women and marginalized groups in Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d"Ivoire, Ethiopia, Laos and Madagascar (Niger and Cameroon in the near future). The focus is on three fields of action:
- improving procedures to secure the land use or land tenure rights of the rural population,
- strengthening participation of civil society in the formulation and implementation of land policies, and
- improving the framework conditions for responsible agricultural and forest investments.
Political and implementation partners include Ministries of Land or Agriculture and decentralized governmental agencies, non-governmental and civil society organizations, as well as the private sector and academic institutions. The programme further partners with international organizations, development partners and initiatives such as European Union, World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization, International Fund for Agricultural Development, KfW, the International Land Coalition, the Stand-for-Her-Land campaign implemented by Landesa, and NAMATI, among others.
Besides the implementation in partner countries, the "Global Programme Responsible Land Policy" also facilitates exchange of know-how and experiences between practitioners across countries as part of its knowledge management and capacity development strategy.
