Namati has published a new policy brief on the gendered aspects of land rights<\/a>. It is our hope that Myanmar\u2019s national reforms and the implementation of the country\u2019s new National Land Use Policy can grow from the lived experience of ordinary Myanmar citizens.<\/p>\n

Namati and our partners assist farmers in Myanmar to claim their land rights through a community paralegal approach. Community paralegals are trained in relevant laws, community education, negotiation, and mediation skills to work with farmers to resolve a variety of land rights issues. Dozens of data points are documented as part of each case resolution process which\u00a0illustrate how the legal framework functions in practice. It is this casework data that underpins this policy brief. Focus groups and interviews with paralegals and clients further provide qualitative context and insights.<\/p>\n

Namati recommends actions the Myanmar government can take as part of implementing its new National Land Use Policy to help increase women\u2019s engagement in land use management and access to tenure rights. This briefing also provides recommendations for civil society organizations interested in the community paralegal model, and, in particular, in increasing the number of women paralegals in the country as a means of women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n
