Cameroon’s current land law appears to have two conflicting objectives: to attract investors through large-scale land concessions while simultaneously protecting biodiversity, defending local people’s rights and promoting rural development.

This brief study has been produced by the partners of the CoNGOs consortium to share our different knowledge and experience, and to set out a joint understanding of the current state of play in relation to community forestry in Cameroon.

Land in Cameroon is under growing pressure for many reasons — powerful commercial interests, changing climate conditions and shifting demographic flows including mass migration and increasing population density.

The current study focuses on mapping active stakeholders and HLP rights projects and programmes in areas of return in Iraq. Specific attention will be given to economic and political factors and challenges, as well as the gender dimensions of these programs.

In 2023, the LAND-at-scale programme underwent an external mid-term review carried out by Mokoro Ltd. The report presents the MTR's main objectives, main findings and recommendations.
