Since their adoption in May 2012, the Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the context of national food security (The Guidelines), negotiated under the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) by the joint of representatives of the member states, civil society and the private sector, have been used in the Latin America and Caribbean region as a tool to face historical challenges in the governance of tenure, of which the following can be mentioned:

• unequal access and management of natural resources.
• the high level of informality in tenure.
• the particular difficulty of access to natural resources by people from marginalized groups (women, indigenous peoples, youth, small producers).

In 2017, during the High-Level Meeting on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in Latin America and the Caribbean, organized by FAO and the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) of Brazil , the participants highlighted the need to advance on the issues of land administration systems, institutional strengthening, reduction of gender and youth gaps in access to natural resources, and concrete mechanisms of South-South cooperation among countries.

In this sense, as an operational response, the trilateral South-South cooperation project ´Support for the strengthening of responsible governance of tenure in America´ was designed, an alliance between the FAO Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, the Agency Brazilian Cooperation (ABC) and the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA).

The focus of the activities is to carry out and support implementation activities of the Guidelines at the regional and national levels, as well as to systematize these experiences through a political dialogue committee and to improve the capacity to monitor the implementation of the Guidelines.

Cycle of exchanges ´In Technological Solutions for Land Administration.

This activity, divided into three virtual events, seeks to provide a vision of the issue in the regional scenario, contributing to the identification of measures and solutions with potential for replication in the different countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, and promoting dialogue for construction of an action agenda on this issue.
