Descripción
FAO’s Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) were endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security in May 2012. These Voluntary Guidelines have been described as a catalyst leading to improvements in the conditions under which land is held or occupied in the agriculture sectors. The Guidelines address problems of weak governance of tenure and the growing pressure on natural
resources, thereby assisting countries to achieve food security for all. FAO has been working in more than 58 countries providing technical assistance, training
and capacity development, as well as support to the assessment, formulation and implementation of the relevant national policies and laws.
In 2013/2014, the Guidelines were introduced in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nepal and Mongolia through learning programmes: four contrasting contexts with different
approaches to securing equitable rights to land. This new series will discuss countries’ experience towards better governance of tenure. It will highlight changes before and after the Voluntary Guidelines on Governance of Tenure (VGGT), and explain why the VGGT were a driver of change and created an opportunity. The first three titles will focus on Sierra Leone, Liberia and Mongolia. This brochure highlights the key achievements and lessons learned in Sierra Leone.
