of the key positive and negative points of the new draft. The new draft NLUP
has taken on board many of the concerns and recommendations raised by

Until recently, the legal framework on land was marred by the existence of multiple land laws, some of which were incompatible. These laws, coupled with the rampant land injustices hampered efficacy in land ownership, management and administration of land.

In Timor-Leste, customary institutions contribute to sustainable and equitable rural development and the establishment of improved access to and management of land, water and other natural resources.

Abstract: "Land is the most vital natural resource in Myanmar it is essential to livelihoods, particularly for the most vulnerable. Seventy percent (70%) of Myanmar’s population rely on land and agriculture for their livelihoods. A long history of various governing structures in Myanmar has enabled the capture and control of land by colonial, government or elite powers to the detriment and neglect of smallholder and subsistence farmers. This has impacted negatively on vulnerable populations, significantly contributing to, and shaping the current occurrence of poverty.

In Kenya, insecure land tenure and inequitable access to land, forest and water resources have contributed to conflict and violence, which has in turn exacerbated food insecurity. To address these interlinked problems, a new set of laws and policies on food security and land governance are currently being introduced or designed by the Government of Kenya. The new Food Security Bill explicitly recognizes the link between food security and land access, and the 2012 land laws target the corrupt system of land administration that made much of Kenya’s land grabbing possible.
