RRI Analyses - Rights + Resources - Supporting Forest Tenure, Policy, and Market Reforms - Page 26

RRI tracks the progress on recognition of Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local communities’ land and resource rights worldwide, as well as the rights of women within these communities, and examines key elements of the relationship between secure tenure and climate and development goals. These analyses underpin advocacy by communities, legislators, and policy experts, and strengthen the evidence base on the importance of securing Indigenous, community, and Afro-descendant land rights. RRI’s analytical work is informed and guided by its coalition members around the world and verified by a network of national experts.

RRI conducts research on Forest and Land Tenure; Gender Justice; Climate and Conservation; Water Tenure; Tenure risk assessment; and Livelihoods.
