This online discussion is exploring two main questions:

  • How can customary law and governance institutions be strengthened to ensure social inclusion, secure community access to land and effective management of natural resources?
  • How can these institutions best be protected against corrupt and authoritarian leadership and capture by local elites and global business partners?
