This SRM-funded project included three major results.

Two: training sessions organized for communities and the technical support provided to them, which enabled the community of Kingwaya village to compile requisite application materials and submit the request for a CFCL to the local officials. And three: a CFCL of 1,755 hectares was granted to communities of Kingwaya, securing their rights to that land perpetually.
