A new report by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) outlines eight reasons why it is important to address HLP issues from the outset of a humanitarian response, including:
Saving lives, preventing further displacement and human rights violations
Adapting humanitarian response to complex urban environments
Ensuring equal access to humanitarian assistance
Promoting access to justice in crises contexts and contributing towards durable solutions

Agriculturas campesinas en Latinoamérica. Propuestas y desafíos es la publicación que recoge las ponencias del debate efectuado en La Paz, Bolivia, en 2013, en el marco del seminario internacional promovido el Consejo Latinamericanao de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO).
El capítulo II Agriculturas campesinas en Latinoamérica contiene el texto elaborado por Oscar Bazoberry Chali, Coordinador General del Instituto para el Desarrollo Rural de Sudamérica (IPDRS), el documento lleva el título Procesos de integración regional y propuestas para las agriculturas campesinas.  

El enfoque SIAL surge a finales de la década de 1990 cuando un grupo de investigadores de instituciones francesas, como el CIRAD (Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement) y el INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique).

Desarrollo rural en Uruguay
Gerardo Evia*  
 Uruguay ha sido, hasta no hace mucho tiempo, un país esencialmente ganadero. Desde el siglo XVII, cuando se introdujeron las primeras cabezas de vacunos,  hasta la fecha, el cuero, luego el tasajo, y más tarde la carne y la lana han sido el soporte de la economía del país, modelando el desarrollo de una sociedad que depende sustancialmente de las exportaciones de origen agropecuario.

Epoca de siembra y cumbres

El mundo se ve distinto desde Charagua. Recibí al año 2010 en esta localidad del Chaco Boliviano, que acaba de  ganar por referéndum su reconocimiento como municipio indígena,  aunque realmente es intercultural,  debido a una presencia importante de población guaraní, criolla, mestiza, menonita, quechua y aymara. Gran parte de sus habitantes se dedica a actividades agropecuarias como principal fuente de ingresos.

Across most contexts, government data sources on land are largely inaccessible, from land administration data, such as parcel data and ownership information to land investments, contract data and even policy information. In considering data on property ownership specifically, the latest version of the Open Data Barometer shows only two countries, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, obtained a full 100% score on the topic of Land Ownership. When this land administration data is made available, it is commonly made public via a web portal rather than as open data.

This policy research brief on land tenure reform and government revenue aims primarily to examine the effects of land tenure reforms on land-based revenue and to provide policy recommendations that would build on existing efforts developed to ease the process of paying and collecting various land revenue. The research topic was suggested by land sector stakeholders among other topics during the LAND Project’s Year 3 Work Planning Meeting, and was endorsed by the Rwanda Natural Resources Authority and LAND Project as an important research area.

Over the last decade, the Government of Rwanda (GoR) has engaged in reforming the land sector through formulation and enactment of an enabling legal framework, establishment of land administration institutions, and land tenure regularization. In 2008, the GoR initiated the Land Tenure Regularization Program (LTRP) with two main objectives: (1) to ensure secure forms of land tenure for citizens and (2) to ensure efficient management and administration of land.

Large-scale land acquisitions by investors, which are often called ‘land grabs’ (see next section for de nition), can deprive rural women and communities of their livelihoods and land, increasing their food insecurity. This report argues that the current rise in land grabbing needs to be urgently addressed, and focuses
on the actions that developing countries can take to mitigate land grabs through strengthening national land governance so that it is transparent, is accountable and protects communities’ rights.

Secure access to productive land is critical to poverty, acknowledging the complexity and
dynamics of evolving rural realities; (b) identify
the major implications of that relationship for
IFAD’s strategy and programme development
and implementation; (c) articulate guiding
principles for mainstreaming land issues in
the Fund’s main operational instruments and
processes; and (d) provide the framework for
the subsequent development of operational
guidelines and decision tools.
In this policy, land refers to farmland,

Across equatorial and east Africa, climate change is affecting the frequency, intensity
and variability of regional climate patterns.1 Changes in rainfall patterns, temperatures
and storm intensity are having significant effects on national economies, regional
infrastructure, land use and local livelihoods. These changes are forcing national and
local governments to adjust and adapt how they plan, prepare and implement day to
day operations today and larger visions for the future. The ability of governmental
