Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.

Equal land rights for women

Mission

Agriculture is one of the few existing economic sectors in Zambia, and is the main source of livelihood, income and employment for the majority of people living in rural areas. ACF’s mission is therefore to contribute to the creation of a viable and responsive agricultural sector through evidence-based policy analysis, knowledge management, policy dialogue and stakeholder management. 

ACF believes that it is important that agricultural stakeholders have a voice in the policy decision-making processes. Thereby, ACF envisions a vibrant, multi stakeholder consultative platform in the Zambian agricultural sector.


Objectives

In order to achieve its mission, the objectives of ACF are to effectively mobilize and engage stakeholders at various levels in policy advocacy, including in the formulation and implementation of agricultural policies, investment plans and programs. It also one of its objectives to continue to generate credible and quality evidence, as well as performance data for timely policy decision-making and implementation. Finally, ACF aims to be a reliable and relevant source of information and knowledge for the agricultural sector.


Constituencies

ACF’s constituencies include poor farmers, smallholder farmers, policy makers, agriculture commodity associations, agri-business enterprises, agricultural research institutes and agriculture cooperating partners.
