Details:

RRI supported the Forest Peoples Programme along with the Forest Indigenous Peoples Network to halt evictions of the Singer people in Kenya. 

The Action Plan drafted at the World Bank Colloquium in Eldoret was finalized with the input of forest-dependent communities. Comprehensive guidelines on the CLB were developed for communities to use as a framework for ordering and securing forest lands as registrable community lands. In addition, the support aided in the granting of the deadline for the 2010 Kenya Constitution required passage of three key bills – the Historical Land Injustices Bill (HLB), the Community Land Bill (CLB), and the Forest Conservation and Management Bill (FCMB).
