Promoting Responsible Governance of Investments in Land (RGIL) in Ethiopia

The “Responsible Governance of Investments in Land” (RGIL) project in Ethiopia aims at ensuring that investments in land are productive, contribute to sustainable land management, and respect the rights and needs of local populations, in particular vulnerable groups and women.

Through a series of awareness-raising, monitoring and dialogue activities, all guided by the ‘Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests’ and the ‘Principles for Responsible Agricultural Investment’ of the United Nations’ Committee on World Food Security (CFS), RGIL Ethiopia aims to strengthen the capacities of government authorities,  international and domestic investors, and local land users.

The project is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-funded by the European Union (EU).
