For the estimated 70% of the world population that lives on property without a formal land title, life can be precarious. The absence of ownership documentation raises families’ vulnerability to forced eviction and conflict; it precludes the use of the property to access financial services and other economic benefits; and it diminishes the value of property by restricting its transfer to an informal, opaque market. And yet, in many parts of the world, the process of obtaining a land title is not only expensive but also complicated and sometimes nearly impossible.

This manual is aimed at communities in Ethiopia and provides guidance on what they can do to prevent and minimize conflicts with investors or to resolve them to their satisfaction.

This publication aims to provide practical guidance for government officials in improving their skills related to agriculture extension service provisions to large-scale agricultural investments. It is meant to be used along with the full version of the manual as well as with the RGIL “Introductory Manual on responsible land-based investments for Governments”.

The livelihood of a large part of the world’s population depends directly on access to land and its secure longterm use. 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 guide aims to help investors identify the impacts and mitigation measures to minimize the impacts of the proposed investments in the agricultural and forestry sector in Laos. Further, the document provides guides on measures for environmental and social safeguards throughout the investment cycles.

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.
