The Fifth Regional Conference of the Africa National Land Institutions Network for Community Rights (ALIN) will take place October 14–16, 2025, in Freetown, Sierra Leone, under the theme “Securing Community Land Rights in Africa.”

Co-hosted by Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI), the Government of Sierra Leone, the Rights and Resources Initiative, and the Sierra Leone Land Alliance (SLLA), the 2025 edition will bring together government representatives, civil society organizations, Indigenous and community leaders, and regional institutions from across Africa.

This biennial event is part of the African Land Institutions Network for Community Rights (ALIN)—a unique community of practice for experience sharing, peer learning, and collaboration among African national land institutions.

Building on the progress made in previous editions held in Ghana (2017), Madagascar (2019), Togo (2021), and Tanzania (2023), the 2025 conference will assess the implementation of national action plans, share lessons learned, and chart a new collective roadmap for advancing community and customary land rights across the continent.
