Webinar - Land Consolidation Legislation: FAO Legal Guide and Its Application at the Country Level

18 June 2020

Land consolidation is a well-proven land management instrument, which has traditionally been used for agricultural development with a main objective of reducing land fragmentation and increasing holding and farm sizes.

ONLINE workshop "Formalizing the Informal to Protect Residents in Informal Settlements"

17 June 2020
