Ensuring land rights

Working with five communities from the Northern, Eastern and Uva Provinces of Sri Lanka, the project will empower communities, their organizations and networks with knowledge, skills and resources to advocate on their land rights and effectively engage with Provincial and National Governments and stakeholders. It will provide legal advice and legal training to community members and connect them with local officials so they can obtain legal tenure of their land. The project will also train community leaders and support them to form networks to jointly advocate for land rights for their community, and will support the People’s Alliance on the Right to Land to be a stronger national network and to campaign nationally on land rights for vulnerable and displaced communities.
