COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE IN DEVELOPMENT

2015

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

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.
7

Inclusive decision-making

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

COMAID exists to enable communities to achieve sustainable development. It works on this mission through research, capacity building, partnership, lobbying, and field interventions in a participatory approach. COMAID also envisions a future of hard working and responsible community members enjoying self-sufficiency and sustainable livelihoods despite the challenging environment they inhabit.

Objectives

To promote economic activities towards income generation and employment; to ensure that communities ─especially the poor and socially-excluded─ have secured and equitable access and control over land; to enhance sustainable decision-making, through the integration of geo-spatial tools like GIS and GPS in development; and to strengthen capacities of community-based organizations, municipal councils and government departments, through training, partnership, networking and lobby/advocacy.

Constituencies

COMAID’s beneficiaries include villages/communities, CSOs, community-based organisations, municipal councils, the government administration and government technical services.
