Details:

With SRM funding, the Organization for the Self-Promotion of Rural Sustainable Human Development (ADHD) has organized four community meetings to inform the Bato, Kadjafe, and Sanouboui communities of the Togolese Land Code. Additionally, local authorities raised awareness in all communities on the process for land dispute resolution and social cohesion. Not only have Bato community members been trained in agroforestry and organic fertilizers, they have also produced ten maps identifying conflict zones.

This project enabled the securing of the customary land tenure rights of the Bato community, estimated at more than 4,000 hectares and allowed for the strengthening of local land governance and community livelihoods.
