En el marco de la gobernanza moderna, la transparencia significa reconocer la responsabilidad de proporcionar informaciones. El sistema de las Naciones Unidas, como un servicio público mundial, tiene que dar el ejemplo al suministrar información a sus Estados Miembros, órganos rectores, asociados y otras partes interesadas sobre sus recursos y principales logros, proponiéndola en un formato de fácil lectura. Sin embargo, muchas de las actividades llevadas a cabo por el sistema de las Naciones Unidas en general, y de la FAO en particular, no se conocen muy bien.

In Kenya, insecure land tenure and inequitable access to land, forest and water resources have contributed to conflict and violence, which has in turn exacerbated food insecurity. To address these interlinked problems, a new set of laws and policies on food security and land governance are currently being introduced or designed by the Government of Kenya. The new Food Security Bill explicitly recognizes the link between food security and land access, and the 2012 land laws target the corrupt system of land administration that made much of Kenya’s land grabbing possible.

Women’s participation in decision making at the user-group level and in forest committees has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on forest sustainability. For example, women’s participation enhances forest regeneration and reduces illegal harvesting through improved monitoring. Their presence in forest user groups increases the groups’ capacity to manage and resolve conflicts, which in turn increases the likelihood that resource users will comply with and respect harvesting and use rules.
