TRANSVERSAL SUPPORT, A MEANS TO STRENGTHEN IN-COUNTRY IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS

CAPITALIZATION ON THE EUROPEAN UNION LAND GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME

The European Union Land Governance Programme funds 18 individual country-level projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, all of which address tenure issues, and are implemented alongside various partners, among which are government agencies, civil society organizations, bilateral and multilateral organizations and private contractors. All project activities are carried out within the framework of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT), and, in the African context, the African Union Declaration on Land Issues and Challenges in Africa (AU Declaration) and its Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G).

By means of a Transversal Project, co-funded by the EU and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) coordinates, supports and consolidates the implementation of the EU Land Governance Programme in ten African countries (Angola, Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Somalia and South Sudan) and has extended its support to eight additional countries located in Africa, Asia and South America (Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Pakistan, Sudan and Uganda) since 2015.

This Transversal Project supports the country-level projects and provides the implementing actors and their partners with a platform to exchange, collect and communicate to a wider audience the wealth of lessons learned in project implementation. It also supports the organization of capacity development programmes for the implementers, who can benefit from technical guidance from FAO’s interdisciplinary task force on governance of tenure. The project also provides readily available tools for implementation, as well as support to monitor results at country and global level.

All activities in Africa related to land are conducted in partnership with the African Land Policy Centre (ALPC), a consortium of the African Union (AU), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).

Capitalization meetings are a cornerstone in FAO’s Transversal Project “Support to and capitalization on the EU Land Governance Programme”. The objectives of these meetings are to assess progress in implementation, develop capacity of project teams, share experiences and lessons learned, and provide a platform for networking and deepening interaction among country level project implementers to improve performance.

Capitalization Meetings have been held every six months in Addis Ababa since 2014. As of 2018, the meeting will be held annually, and for the first time, the Capitalization Meeting will take place at FAO headquarters in Rome from 26 to 29 June 2018.

EUROPEAN UNION LAND GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME COUNTRY-LEVEL PROJECTSIn 2014, following the endorsement of the VGGT in 2012 and the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G) in 2009, the European Union embarked on an ambitious plan to support ten African countries in turning the principles of these two soft law instruments into action under the “Support to Land Governance in sub-Saharan Africa in the scope of the VGGT Programme” (European Union Land Governance Programme).

In 2015, the European Union extended its support under this programme to eight additional countries, including three from outside of the African continent.

Out of the 76 countries where the VGGT have been disseminated over the past six years, the Transversal Project provides a platform for project implementers and partners of the 18 country-level projects of the EU Land Governance Programme to increase project compliance with international standards and to benefit from technical guidance, capacity development, lesson learning, experience sharing and possibilities for exchange among implementers in improving governance of tenure in the framework of the VGGT and F&G.

THE EU LAND GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

The EU Land Governance Programme Knowledge Management Platform (www.africalandpolicy.org/eu-programme) is designed primarily as

an information hub that allows knowledge and information sharing among the in-country projects, involved stakeholders and the general

public. Managed by the transversal team, this platform provides a functionality to create, share and discuss text and multimedia

content among the in-country projects.

This platform has a public and a private space. The private space is used by the in-country projects and involves stakeholders for private data exchanges, discussions, access to restricted content and for contributing content to the portal. The public space is designed for the general public to provide background information and activities of the EU Land Governance Programme.

The EU Land Governance Knowledge Management Platform is a content rich and frequently updated portal with valuable

resources from different sources. It contains various tools, information on in-country projects, documents, meeting

concept notes and minutes, monitoring & evaluation tools, publications, discussion forums, useful links and frequently asked

questions.

The EU Land Governance Knowledge Management Platform serves as the main online communication tool and information repository for project implementers:http://africalandpolicy.org/eu-programme/

INFORMATION RESOURCES

These guidelines are the first comprehensive global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The document sets out internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests, with the overarching goal of achieving food security for all. Recognizing the centrality of land to development, the Voluntary Guidelines contribute to global and national efforts towards the eradication of hunger and poverty by promoting secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests. These Guidelines were endorsed by the CFS at its Thirty-eighth (Special) Session on 11 May 2012 and then recognized as part of the 10 Greatest Achievements of FAO in the last 70 years.

CAPITALIZATION ON THE EU LAND GOVERNANCE

PROGRAMMEThe eradication of hunger and poverty and the sustainable use of the environment, depend in large measure on how people, communities and others gain access to land, fisheries and forests. The livelihoods of many, particularly the rural poor, are based on secure and equitable access to and control over these resources. They are the source of food and shelter, the basis for social, cultural and religious practices and a central factor in economic growth.

FOR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, FOOD

SECURITY DEPENDS ON TENURE SECURITY
