A capacity building and legal awareness raising project related to land and natural resources in Lao PDR. The project is currently funded by Bread for the World.
LIFE project is a key project on legal awareness raising in Lao PDR and was founded in 2014 by a broad coalition of civil society organisations that were all members of the Land Information working group (LIWG).
LIFE works with many partners such as CARE, CCL, CORD, FAO, GAPE, GIZ, Helvetas, JVC, MCC, Oxfam, VFI, RRDPA and World Renew. The Department of Agricultural Land Management (DALaM) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is the project’s main government counterpart. LIFE aims to ‘mainstream’ land issues into recipient organizations’ regular activities, and strengthen small holders’ and family farmers’ land tenure security in the long term. This is done through capacity-building activities on key policies and legislations related to land and natural resources to CSOs, development partners, government and private sector stakeholders.
This is a video to reflect on good practice of project implemented together with with many stakeholders and LIWG members, government, and international organizations.
