The goal of the programme is to improve the livelihoods and food and nutrition security for 32,090 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group, including 14,000 tribal households and 16,356 poor households in the regions of Eastern Ghats and Northern Plateau, through capacity building and by improving agricultural practices and community infrastructure. Support for land and natural resource governance will include measures for securing land to programme beneficiaries and providing them with land and forest titles that will be issued in the names of both husband and wife engaging the services of a specialist NGO (LANDESA). The programme will facilitate granting of community rights under the Forest Rights Act.

The overall objective of the project is to guarantee land tenure security and access to land for all citizens, in particular for smallholder producers. The specific objective of the project is to accelerate the implementation of land laws and ensure their applicability for all layers of society. The project aims particularly to mitigate conflicts by clarifying and issuing land rights to beneficiaries.. The project is structured around three components: - Component 1 is to strengthen the capacities of the Central Administration, the Regional Directorates of Agriculture and the Districts and Sub-districts, - Component 2 concerns the devolution of responsibilities to local administrations including (awareness of the villages, organization of land delimitation, etc.) by an inter-professional agricultural organization well established in the field, - Component 3 seeks to strengthen inter-ministerial monitoring capacity, coordination and synergy, in particular between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of interior Affaires.

The programme aims to support young people in creating and managing successful agro-pastoral businesses and to promote a policy, organizational and institutional framework conducive to the creation and development of agro-pastoral businesses among young people. The programme will directly benefit 10,000 households in four regions: Centre, South, Littoral and Northwest, accounting for about 40% of the youth population living in rural areas in Cameroon. It is expected that about 4,700 agro-pastoral businesses will be created and about 350 existing businesses will be further developed. On land and natural resource governance, the programme plans to work at the local and national level to provide youth, especially young rural women, with secure access to land, and also support all beneficiaries in obtaining property titles. It will work to this end with the Ministry in charge of land affairs and with local authorities. These actions will be accompanied by consultations between landowners and local administrative institutions and by sensitization campaigns and advocacy for a more favourable framework for access to land by young people. Ideally these will result in negotiations between landowners and land users, and in the signing of a property charter recognized and respected by all stakeholders.

The United Kingdom is providing financial support totalling GBP 3 922 159 over three years for the dissemination and effective and high quality implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (Voluntary Guidelines) which were globally endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security in May 2012 and whose implementation has been encouraged by the UK. Component 3.1 of the project includes funding for country level activities in Uganda and Nigeria. Both countries have undergone a participatory land governance assessment. The in-depth work will build on the insights of these assessments and on the dynamics generated through the awareness raising workshops and related process that the FAO will start with. Technical assistance will be provided to address specific issues raised as priorities. In Uganda, these include a review of the land use policy to address challenges caused by pressure on land in the agricultural sector; targeted studies into tenure issues relating to the rural poor; institutional capacity development and training; development of innovative approaches for recording informal, customary, and user rights. In Nigeria work will focus on issues raised in the LGAF, the workshops and the subsequently provided technical assistance will be linked to the work undertaken by the G8 Land Partnership, namely for improving transparency in the land sector, securing tenure for the population and strengthening capacities of key stakeholders. The programme will also carry out a study into the regulatory provisions and guideline requirements to establish and manage grazing reserves and stock routes.

The overall goal of the U.S. Government in providing technical support and training under this program is to improve indigenous/minority community and local/regional governmental capacities to better address conflicts (potential and on-going) in the extractives sector that may negatively impact areas of significant biodiversity, thus leading to greater inclusion of marginalized groups. Inclusion encompasses indigenous/minority communities active participation in the decision making processes of planned, or on-going, extractive enterprises that have the potential to negatively impact their lands, societies, livelihoods, and biodiversity. Enhancing the ability of people, communities, and local/regional governments to address complicated issues surrounding extractive activities directly works towards USAID’s mission to (1) build local sustainability and partnerships, (2) foster innovation, and (3) strengthen USAID’s capacity to deliver results. Extractive activities primarily refer to mining (alluvial and hard-rock) and hydrocarbon enterprises. A key focus of this project will be strengthening organizations, including applied research centers that work on preventing and mitigating conflicts arising over extractive activities. Developing and disseminating applicable tools for improved conflict management is a project priority. Select South and Central American countries have been identified as priorities for USAID conflict alleviation work in the LA region; this project will therefore focus primarily on these LA sub-regions. During the first two years of project implementation, the project will focus on Guatemala, Colombia and Peru; complementing LA bilateral Mission work in the area of conflict management.
