Supporting Implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (Component 2a)

FAO will add value to the Mekong Region Land Governance (MRLG) project through an approach known as transversal support. This approach is aimed at providing support across a number of projects/activities and it will support the mainstreaming and coordination of the VGGT into national activities in the four countries. This will ensure that the impact of the MRLG will be strengthened and, by supporting a holistic approach to land, fisheries and forests, extended to include the broader scope of interrelated natural resources. The transversal support will include a strong capacity development element, aimed at national counterparts and stakeholders through the application of public goods already produced by FAO.
