In 2013, a group of 20 expert advocates from across Africa gathered for a three-day\u00a0symposium to share experiences and practical strategies for effectively supporting\u00a0communities to protect their lands and natural resources. The symposium illuminated\u00a0many similarities between the types of threats to communities\u2019 land and natural\u00a0resource claims, as well as underlying factors that drive and exacerbate the threats.<\/p>\n

Since the symposium, pressures on community land and natural resource rights have\u00a0only increased. it is more necessary than ever to share strategies, successes,\u00a0lessons, and resources across a wide network of local practitioners, legal champions,\u00a0policy advocates, media allies, and supporters.<\/p>\n

This book is a collection of case studies and analysis written by practitioners, for\u00a0practitioners. Together, they share a variety of ingenious, creative, and practical\u00a0strategies for proactively confronting the forces that undermine community land and\u00a0natural resource tenure security in Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43234,"template":"","class_list":["post-190072","namati_resources","type-namati_resources","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nProtecting Community Lands & Resources in Africa: Grassroots Advocates\u2019 Strategies & Lessons - Namati<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/namati.org\/publications\/protecting-community-lands-resources-in-africa-grassroots-advocates-strategies-lessons\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Protecting Community Lands & Resources in Africa: Grassroots Advocates\u2019 Strategies & Lessons - Namati\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This book is a collection of case studies and analysis written by practitioners, for practitioners.
