In November 2013, 30 pioneering community and civil society experts from
across Africa gathered together in South Africa at the first Africa Regional
Symposium for Community Land and Natural Resource Protection (see our original
blog here) to share
experiences and practical strategies in the battle to protect community land
and natural resources.
Out of this symposium came a commitment to share these practical
experiences, success stories, challenges and resources through the development
of a publication by these experts and other community partners, with Natural
Justice and Namati.
At a time where threats to
community lands and natural resources are peak, "Protecting Community
Lands and Resources in Africa: Grassroots Advocates' Strategies and
Lessons" is an exciting and innovative collection of case studies written
by advocates, for advocates in Africa. Many thanks to Ford Foundation Southern
Africa for its support. For a PDF version of the document, please see here
