Book (series)Оценка прав владения и пользования земельными ресурсами 2019The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a series of Technical Guides to elaborate and provide more detailed guidance on thematic areas contained within the Guidelines. As part of this series, this Technical Guide covers the issues associated with the identification and valuation of tenure rights for different purposes, and provides guidance on how to ensure that valuations are undertaken in a fair, reliable and transparent manner that comply with internati onal norms. It explains why valuations are important, where and when they should be used, and by whom. It is not intended to be a valuation textbook;, instead it seeks to raise the level of awareness of valuation issues and procedures among those involved in land policy and administration and those affected by land tenure decisions. Though this Technical Guide focuses on land, it provides useful guidance that may be applied to fisheries, forests and other natural resources. It is directed prim arily towards developing countries and countries in transition where there is less awareness of the valuation profession and institutions. Legitimate tenure rights involving customary or informal tenure systems may be less clear and not formalized by law or regulations.

No results found.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. -
Book (series)Land tenure and rural development 2002This guide on Land tenure and rural development has been prepared to familiarize readers with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural evelopment interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. Analysis of how land tenure works in practice – as evidenced by who has what type of access to land and under what conditions – is essential. This guide is designed to assist tec hnical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern. While the guide cannot provide jurisdiction-specific advice, it is intended to be relevant to those working in rural development projects throughout the world. Because tenure issues vary conside rably from one country to another, and even within a country, the guide does not attempt to provide readers with a detailed knowledge of land tenure. Instead, it provides guidance on how to identify whether or not land tenure issues are likely to occur in a rural development project, and gives recommendations as to how appropriate land tenure expertise can be built into project design and implementation.
