Toolbox: Understanding and addressing tenure in forest landscape restoration in community lands

Export citation

This toolbox was designed to help practitioners understand and address tenure-related challenges relevant to Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) in community lands. It is intended for use by FLR projects or programmes and their associated field teams during the analysis of field locations. The toolbox is aimed at projects seeking effective community- or village-level participation. The specific purpose of the tools found here is to identify, primarily at the project site level, the ways in which land tenure issues inhibit the uptake of FLR practices and find ways to solve them. It is not intended to be the only tool used for engagement with villages and villagers.
