TGs help people to engage critically with existing legal frameworks. In this study, community knowledge was enhanced regarding customary as well as statutory laws which protect rights, while enabling people to identify shortcomings/gaps/bias in the existing laws working against them.

Land deals are marked by highly contested political processes – usually between the central state, local communities and the corporate sector.
