SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FOR INDIGENOUS RESOURCES

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

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.
4

Equal land rights for women

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

The organisation’s mission is to facilitate the development and application of innovative approaches to diversify and improve rural livelihoods, based on the utilization, commercialization and sustainable management of natural resources. 

The Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources (SAFIRE) is a regional non-governmental organisation with a mandate to operate in the South. The organisation’s focus is the promotion of rural development through the sustainable utilisation, commercialisation and management of natural resources. The organisation currently operates in 10 countries of the South using its own staff and through collaboration with partners. SAFIRE aims to be the regional leader and service provider of first choice in benefit-driven sustainable natural resources management by rural communities.

Objectives

The organisation’s objectives include to diversify the livelihood options of rural communities through an improved management and a sustainable utilization of indigenous natural resources; to support and develop the management capabilities of local-level institutions in participatory, benefit-driven natural resources utilization; to mainstream natural resources management and related livelihood-enhancement programmes in refugee settings and hosting communities; to encourage collaboration and effective exchange of experiences and knowledge amongst institutions and communities active in indigenous resource management; and to advocate for policies that facilitate the achievement of the above objectives.

Constituencies

SAFIRE works with more than 20,000 households in poor and marginalised communities in Africa.
