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

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations and are based on: the free, prior and informed consent of existing land users; a thorough assessment of economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts with respect to both women and men; democratic planning and independent oversight; and transparent contracts that respect labour rights, comply with social and fiscal obligations and are specific and binding on the sharing of responsibilities and benefits. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.

Effective actions against land grabbing

Mission

The Senegal National Council for Concertation and Rural Cooperation (CNCR) works to contribute to the development of peasant agriculture and ensuring sustainable socio-economic livelihoods for small-holder farmers and rural communities. 

Objectives

The main objectives of the Council are to promote consultations and cooperation for the sharing of knowledge and best practices among its members, while also ensuring the enhancement of peasants' culture and rights, as well as the promotion of peasant sociocultural identity in education systems. The main goal of the Council is to strengthen a regional platform for dialogue between farmers' organizations, within the African continent. The work of the CNCR focuses on capacity building of:

(i) the institutions of rural socio-professional organizations;

(ii) the analysis, proposal and negotiation capacities of socio-professional organizations of rural people;

(iii) the technical and technological aspects of family farms;

(iv) the economic and financial elements of family farms.

The CNCR also aims to develop and control its partnerships with other national, sub-regional and international actors involved in the economic and social development of Senegal.

Constituencies

CNCR's governance bodies are the Council, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board, composed by leaders of farmers' organisations and members.

The Board of Directors is formed by 60 members (four representatives per founding member and two for each new member). It has the power to plan, implement and monitor the activities of the CNCR in accordance with the guidelines and programs defined by the General Assembly.  The Executive Board is composed by 18 members and executes the decisions of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board are both guided by the leaders of farmers' organisations.
