This project forms part of the ABG Programme Framework and falls within the ouputs 3 and 4. The project was proposed by the Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission (CDJP) of Tete and aims to promote active citizenship through the dissemination of laws and defence mechanisms of fundamental rights and duties of people in Tete Province, Mozambique. CDJP of Tete, proposes with implementation of the project to achieve two main objectives: 1) Train and empower parishes in fundamental rights and duties enshrined in the constitution, and specifically the Law on the Right to Use and Exploit the Land (DUAT); and 2) Promote opportunities for dialogue between communities and state agencies at provincial, district and local levels. The project will be implemented in 04 districts of Tete Province, in Mozambique and will be training members of 09 parish communities to serve as disseminators of the laws and mechanisms that defend the rights of people and, as well as watchful and reporters (to CDJP) on the violation those rights. On the other hand, efforts to inform communities about their fundamental rights and duties enshrined in the laws (Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique and the Law on the Use and Exploitation of Land) will be put in place. Thus the project will: 1. Develop capacities of 09 parish communities through providing necessary training and tools to their members to defend basic rights of vulnerable people; 2. Inform communities covered by 09 parishes in 04 districts on their fundamental rights, with focus to the Law of Land and available defence mechanisms; 3. Provide juridical assistance to communities in solving land conflicts as for identified in the frame of project implementation and; 4. Promote collaborative partnerships between the church and other civil society and, other state governance monitoring actors within the province. At least 1800 persons from 09 parish communities will be informed on their fundamental rights of land property, their legal status as well as the mechanisms that are available and steps for legalization of their lands.
EC Land Rights for Liberia project
General
The overall objective of the project is to contribute to secure land tenure for poor and marginalised women and youth across 40 communities in Nimba, Lofa, Bong and Margibi counties in Liberia. To achieve this overall objective, two specific objectives have been developed: Specific Objective 1: To improve the system of land tenure and demarcation in favour of marginalised women and youth; Specific Objective 2: To promote land ownership for poor and marginalised women and youth using conflict-sensitive approaches. The project estimated results include: 1. Increased number of land with title deeds (community-led land demarcation) for women and youth; 2. Communities, in particular women and youth, are aware of their rights on land tenure and how to access the necessary services to legalise land possession; 3. Civil Society Organisations are better equipped to support communities on land rights issues; 4. A conflict sensitive approach is mainstreamed throughout formal and informal land entitlement proceedings.
