The livelihood of a large part of the world’s population depends directly on access to land and its secure longtermuse. Land access and use have long been organized through informal or traditional tenure rights, but this is changing. In many regions, land use is being transformed by the expansion of large-scale agricultural investments, a development that was triggered by the 2007–08 food, energy, and financial crises.

This handbook aims to help local communities affected by an investment to access a company-based grievance mechanism, official government conflict resolution mechanisms or village-level mediation when they feel that investors violate their rights or have a concern about the investment operation in their regions.

This guides provides steps that investors have to take to establish an agricultural and forestry investment in Laos, and the key processes involved e.g. land acquisition and clearing, labour, import and export in the investment operation, and social and environmental rehabilitation in the closure phase.

This manual provides practical guides and tools for effective and inclusive engagement with affected communities in different stages and processes throughout the investment cycles from planning, operation and closing.

This handbook explains investors the necessity of company-based grievance redress mechanisms and how to establish them in order to manage the concerns and grievances of their workers, affected local communities and other stakeholders.
