Details:

CIEDD made significant progress in evaluating and responding to the proposed land law, demonstrating the need for a comprehensive land law that supports the rights of marginalized people including Indigenous Peoples and women in CAR. CIEDD successfully fostered a network of CAR parliamentarians (REPAR-CAR) to champion the land law. Social unrest and insecurity prevented the lawmakers from deciding on the draft land law before the end of their session; however, the group has planned to continue to work with lawmakers during several extraordinary sessions scheduled post the SRM period to push for the passage of a comprehensive land law.
