A SUMMARY OF THE NATIONAL DIALOGUE ON CUSTOMARY COMMUNAL TENURE OF ROTATIONAL & FALLOW TAUNGYA, FEBRUARY 2015

From 13-14 February 2015, the Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry, TNI and LCG hosted a National Dialogue on Customary Tenure of Rotational and Fallow Taungya. The meeting brought together a range of stakeholders including government officials, legal experts, academics and local civil society organisations to discuss the recognition of customary communal tenure land management arrangements, with a particular emphasis on how customary tenure might be recognised in the National Land Use Policy and National Land Law. This policy brief advocates for the recognition of customary communal tenure of rotational and fallow taungya in the National Land Use Policy and National Land Law. The brief draws most directly, but not exclusively, from discussions and scholarship presented at the recent national dialogue.
