This SRM-funded project successfully established a permanent space of dialogue between government and civil society organizations on the land use planning reform process in the DRC. Advocates prepared and submitted position notes on securing land use, management, and ownership rights of local communities and Indigenous Peoples through the land use planning reform process. The project established a CSO common task-force for a coordinated engagement of CSO on the land use planning reform process. And finally, the Ministry of Land Use Planning expressed the political will to incorporate CSO recommendations from the technical notes into the land use planning policy document.
