The VGGT1 provide countries with a framework for best practices in tenure-related policies, laws, regulations, strategies and practices. The VGGT were endorsed in May 2012 during the 38th (special) session of the Committee on Food Security, following a large-scale consultation process. This evaluation was conducted between October 2016 and July 2017. For the collection of primary data, the evaluation focused on the following VGGT countries, selected in consultation with the programme management team: Mongolia, Myanmar, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Uganda. One-week missions were conducted in each country. -

No results found.FAO’s Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) were endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security in May 2012. These Voluntary Guidelines have been described as a catalyst leading to improvements in the conditions under which land is held or occupied in the agriculture sectors. The Guidelines address problems of weak governance of tenure and the growing pressure on natural resources, thereby assisting countries to achieve food security for all. FAO has been working in more than 58 countries providing technical assistance, training and capacity development, as well as support to the assessment, formulation and implementation of the relevant national policies and laws. In 2013/2014, the Guidelines were introduced in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nepal and Mongolia through learning programmes: four contrasting contexts with different approaches to securing equitable rights to land. This new series will discuss countries’ experience towards better governance of tenure. It will highlight changes before and after the Voluntary Guidelines on Governance of Tenure (VGGT), and explain why the VGGT were a driver of change and created an opportunity. The first three titles will focus on Sierra Leone, Liberia and Mongolia. This brochure highlights the key achievements and lessons learned in Sierra Leone. -

The analysis was supported by two assessment tools, which consist of a series of questions related to land tenure generally and gender issues specifically in Sierra Leone. It addresses aspects o f the governance of tenure of land with regards to rights and responsibilities, policy, legal and organizational framework, and delivery of services along applicable international human rights standards.
