Development and Use of a Training Manual “Participatory Land Governance: Preparing for Negotiation with Investors” in Zambézia province, Mozambique

In 2018 ORAM and Terra Firma were granted additional funding by the LEGEND challenge fund to develop materials and build capacity of Community Land Associations (CLAs) and their individual members to negotiate with investors. This initiative was designed to build upon the work already funded under LEGEND (establishment of 20 CLAs, delimitation of the 20 communities, delimitation of family parcels, and development of land use plans) undertaken to ensure that legitimate customary land rights were recognised by a major company (Portucel) holding government concessions for plantation forestry, and by government.
