In August 2020, the UN-Habitat Sudan Country Programme and the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) published the “Darfur Land Administration Assessment: Analysis and Recommendations” report, developed in close cooperation with the United Nations Country Team of Sudan, the United Nations - African Union Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and the Darfur Land Commission.

In response to the dearth of data on funding for women and the need to support international advocacy promoting direct funding to IP, ADP, and LC women’s groups and organizations, the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) initiated a bottom-up research effort to build a baseline for measuring funding levels reaching community women on the ground and assess the extent to which existing grants and funding mechanisms are considered fit-for-purpose by recipient organizations.

Considering the challenges of conflict management, mediation, and dispute resolution in numerous countries, several LAND-at-scale (LAS) interventions aim to strengthen and improve access to institutions of dispute resolution. Recent LAS interventions build on previous efforts since 2002 by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to strengthen land tenure security, increasingly recognising durable and equitable solutions, especially for marginalised people.

Best practices around five thematic communities of practice were highlighted in Knowledge Streams, including cross-cutting themes such as climate resilience, gender inclusivity, and digitalization. The workshop included field excursions, presentations, exchange sessions, and discussions on mainstreaming practitioners' experiences into policy frameworks, thus fostering a strong international network for knowledge sharing and collaborative action. 

The results are summarized in this communiqué in English.

Les meilleures pratiques autour de cinq communautés de pratique thématiques ont été mises en évidence dans les flux de connaissances, y compris des thèmes transversaux tels que la résilience climatique, l'inclusion du genre et la numérisation. L'atelier comprenait des excursions sur le terrain, des présentations, des sessions d'échange et des discussions sur l'intégration des expériences des praticiens dans les cadres politiques, favorisant ainsi un réseau international solide pour le partage des connaissances et l'action collaborative.
