Date & Time: October 30, 2024, 12:00 - 14:00 UTC
Join us for an insightful online conference to explore how Local Land Charters (CFLs) are transforming community-based land governance across the Sahelian region. This webinar will discuss the pioneering approach successfully implemented by GIZ in Burkina Faso, which empowers local communities to govern land and natural resources effectively and peacefully.
Webinar Highlights:
- Expert Perspectives – Romaric DABIRE from GIZ/Burkina will present on the implementation of CFLs in Burkina Faso.

- Interactive Q&A Session – Engage with experts and practitioners in the field of land governance.
Key Topics Covered:
- The Importance of Rural Land and Natural Resources: Learn about the critical role of land and resources in the Sahel, where rural communities rely on agriculture, pastoralism, and natural resource management under increasing demographic and climate pressures.
- Challenges and Opportunities in Land Governance: Understand how population growth, climate change, and land use competition—especially from industrial activities create complex governance challenges.
- The Role of Local Land Charters (CFLs): Discover how CFLs are fostering sustainable access to land and resources, offering non-violent solutions for conflict prevention and resolution, and empowering communities.
- Decentralization and Policy Impacts: Explore how decentralization policies and emerging land laws in Burkina Faso and West Africa support more inclusive and locally led land management solutions.
