Tanzania Agricultural Modernization Association (TAMA) intends to implement a one year Amka Mwanamke Campaign project that aims at empowering marginalized women to secure land rights in Muleba District.

The need for this project is that In Tanzania laws that support women's rights to land ownership h ave been enacted but a great milestone- does not bring all women to the end - customary practices regarding marriage and inheritance continue to discriminate heavily against women. The government and other development partners have been carrying out their roles to facilitate implementation of land policy and laws to ensure women's ownership of land but such roles need other joint efforts to collaboratively increase awareness and empower more women to fight for their rights hence this project.The expected de velopment impact of this project is Women in Muleba District have access to and control over land. Project outcomes will be; increased capacity knowledge and skills among marginalized women on their rights to have access to and control over land; village a nd Ward Land Councils are accountable and ensure equitable distribution of land resources for women; increased access to information education and communication services and materials for women about land distribution registration and land rights. Main ben eficiaries in this project are women and the main implementing Agency is Tanzania Agricultural Modernization Association (TAMA). Why TAMA was chosen it's because the Land issue and particularly women's land rights is a sensitive issue which needs support s o that many women can enjoy their rights socially and economically as land is a basic resource from which human beings and almost other living creatures depend on for their living.

F.a: Rights of Paliyan Adivasis for using and re-generating natural resources
General
The Paliyan are Adivasi people living in the South Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and about 6000 families belong for those communities. They are traditional nomadic hunter-gatherers, living on the forest and commercial world is strange for them. S till some of them are living on the forest, but most of them had to change their traditional way of living and move away from the forest. Their culture is changing rapidly and their traditional way of living is threatened. The Government of India doesn’t allow Paliyan people to collect forest products for their own use, but at the same time they allow commercial use of those same products. The Adivasi community people are very vulnerable and do not have any political voice for protect their community peop le. They are very badly oppressed, exploited and discriminated in all forms of social system. They are not realized and aware about this current social system. This project aims to empower the Paliyan community people to ensure and practice their tradition al, customary, democratic rights for dignity and sustainable life by ensuring their rights on forest land. It is also important to empower the Paliyar Adivasi community through mobilizing them into a movement for improving their social, economical and cult ural status to lead a self-esteemed, dignity and sustainability life. The Paliyan Adivasi community people are the beneficiaries. They are involved in all levels of implementation of the project. Humane Trust, MMS and ARUDES accomplish this project and all of them are members of CAFAT. www.humanetrust.org.in
F.a: Promoting Indigenous Peoples´ Land Rights in Nepal
General
Due to state policies in Nepal the IPs are losing ownership and control of lands that resulted displacement and threat to continue their existence and identity. Non recognition of customary lands , land acquisition, lack of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC), compensation to the affected, displacement, land dispossessions, full disclosure on projects, ignorance of religious, sacred site and pasture lands are some of the crucial issues pertaining to the land rights of IPs in Nepal. Often indigenous peop les and local communities have been confronting with the aforementioned issues in relation to lands caused by the development projects implemented by the government and private sectors. There are hundreds of hydropower development projects operated in the lands of IPs. The project is intended to enhance capacity of the IPs and local communities to defend their rights. Furthermore, this project also contributes in policy reformation with the engagement of the state and non-state actors, particularly private sectors. In the course of implementation of the project indigenous and local communities are supported in raising their human rights issues at the local level to international levels. For that LAHURNIP will organise capacity development activities and supp ort them to file cases to the courts, complaints to the international mechanisms such as the ILO, UN Special Rapporteurs, grievance mechanisms of the World Bank (Inspection Panel, the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman-CAO) and Asian Development Banks to make th e State and private sectors accountable for protecting and respecting human rights of the indigenous and local communities. The project will also contribute to enhance partnership and coordination with the national and international human rights institute s working in the areas of human rights to support in defending the rights of indigenous and local communities. Apart from that the propose project also contribute to initiate facilitated dialogue with the projects and state to resolve dispute in amicable m anners. www.lahurnip.org
