FAO published its Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT) of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security in 2012. The purpose of these guidelines is to serve as reference and to provide guidance to improve the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forest with the overarching goal of achieving food security for all and to support the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security. The guidelines were translated into Lao and published in 2013.
The current publication is the revised version that has been updated with some revision of Lao terms used to ensure consistency of the translation throughout the guidelines. The revision of the VGGT was supported by MRLG, FAO, GIZ and LIWG.
