Legal empowerment in agribusiness investments presents some distinctive challenges. The processes by which land is managed and investments are governed can also involve major distributive issues and entrenched power relations, requiring practitioners to assess whether legal empowerment can be part of the solution, the most appropriate approaches, and ways to manage the risks involved.
LEGEND outputs explore good practices in legal empowerment, taking stock of recent experience in legal empowerment and drawing on practical examples across different countries showing how legal practitioners harness the law and help communities to articulate their development agendas.
