Implementing Fair Land Ownership

In 2022, to mark the ten-year anniversary of the FAO’s Voluntary Guidelines on Tenure (VGGT), Welthungerhilfe is focussing on putting the document’s recommendations into practice in places like Ethiopia. The guidelines aim to foster fair and responsible approaches to the ownership of land, forests, and fisheries. Even though implementation is still patchy in many places, all governments working towards land reform can use the VGGT to guide their actions. Welthungerhilfe is, for example, working to promote dialogue between all stakeholders, including farmers as key actors.
