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

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

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

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

ERND’s mission is to support indigenous peoples and local communities (women, men and youth alike) in the protection and defence of their right to land and natural resources, and in their involvement in the processes that affect them. ERND also provides support to local communities so that they may take charge of the social and economic processes that affect poverty reduction. ENRD envisions building a society where the sustainable management of natural resources contributes to the preservation of the environment, to the promotion and protection of indigenous people’s rights, and to local communities, in order to ensure their well-being.

Objectives

To contribute, in an efficient way, to the promotion, protection and management of natural resources in order to preserve the integrity of indigenous peoples.

Constituencies

Indigenous peoples, local communities, vulnerable peoples, the authorities, women and youth.
