ESAFF BURUNDI

#ESAFF will be participating at #COP29 in Azerbaijan! As the voice of smallholder farmers, we will be advocating for sustainable agriculture, #agroecology & climate-resilient. We aim to bring smallholder farmers' perspectives on climate justice and food sovereignty to forefront.

DAILY LAW 2024 WRAP-UP: DAY 2 We had a community sensitization and dialogue in Mayuge district at Imanyiro sub-county headquarters. The community members were sensitized about the Systematic Land Adjudication and Certification (SLAC) program where 5,000 freehold land titles in villages and 3,000 tittles to peri-urban areas are to be given out. The participants were informed that each person will pay a fee of 85,000/= to obtain freehold land titles supported by government through @ministry_lands. Community members also received legal assistance on land issues through our mobile legal aid clinics. Still in Imanyiro sub-county, we interviewed household members on the issues of sugar cane growing in the region and women struggles in achieving their land rights. At R-FM this evening, we have shared issues that came up during community awareness events and possible solutions that the land experts provided to the community members. #LandRightsSupportCentre #Land4Women #LandAwarenessWeek24
