It also fits perfectly into the framework and guidelines for land policies in Africa of the Land Policy Initiative (LPI). This project is designed to carry out the national inventory of pastoral spaces and pastoral resources and to strengthen the structures of the Rural Code and the realization of the land development plan in two regions, namely Dosso and Zinder, which benefit from the support of the Sector Development Support (PADSR) funded by the European Union under the 10th EDF. Within the context of improving food security, the project aims to implement parts of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of the Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT).
