ASSOCIATION FOR RURAL ADVANCEMENT

2007

Member since

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

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.

Diverse Tenure Systems

Mission

AFRA is an independent NGO working on land rights and agrarian reform in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. AFRA's work focuses on black rural people whose rights to land have been undermined, whose tenure is insecure, and who do not have access to sufficient land to fulfill their development aspirations or even their basic needs.

Objectives

AFRA will focus on four areas of work in the coming three years:

1) Supporting agrarian reform social movements in order to mount challenges, lobby and take charge of their own struggle.

2) Recognizing the citizenship rights of farm dwellers

3) Promoting alternative agrarian reform models for economic development as well as communal property rights.

4) Searching for land administration options for economic development.

Constituencies

AFRA works with black rural people in KwaZulu-Natal.
