Event Details
BACKGROUND: Secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests are critical means of eradicating hunger and poverty, supporting sustainable development and enhancing the environment.

On 11 May 2012, CFS endorsed the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (CFS VGGT) to promote legitimate land tenure rights particularly those of the most marginalized and vulnerable. The Guidelines provide a framework that countries can use when developing their own strategies, policies and legislations.

To commemorate the 10th year anniversary of the CFS VGGT, CFS and FAO will jointly organize a high-level event to:

  • Assess lessons learned over the past ten years;
  • Remind policy makers and stakeholders of the potential these guidelines hold; and
  • Re-confirm political, policy and financial commitments to accelerate their further implementation.
