Greetings,

Attached is a Legal Empowerment Clinic  guide developed as part of the global initiative for SECURING WOMEN’S RESOURCE RIGHTS THROUGH GENDER TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACHES funded by IFAD (2021-2024). This consortium of gender specialists from CIFOR-ICRAF, the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT, and IFPRI tested approaches for designing GTAs with IFAD-funded projects from gender-analysis to validation/sensemaking, co-creation, training-of-trainers and localized pilots. 

The Legal Empowerment Clinic Facilitation Guide was developed speciically for Uganda (led by LANDnet Uganda with the National Land Coalition), but could be adapted to other contexts by revising the legal literacy sections (policies, laws, legal instruments) and participatory activities (names and scenarios). 

Additional publications and tools developed across six countries may be found on the project website: https://www.cifor-icraf.org/wlr/publications/
