2021 IFPRI/PIM Grants: 1. Flagship 1: Technological Innovation and Sustainable Intensification; 2. Flagship 5: Governance of Natural Resources and Flagship 6: Cross-cutting Gender Research & Coordination

This project contributes to the governance of forest resources by supporting collective land tenure and land tenure security, as well as landscape governance institutions. The project specifically contributes to PIM flagship 5 on Governance of Natural Resources. FP5 2022 outcomes are: (1) evidence informs natural resource governance and tenure policy processes and implementation; (2) improved tenure security; and (3) improved landscape governance. All activities are country-specific except for the critical research component, which is global. Two of the country-specific activities (testing methods and gender), however, have methods and tools as products that are intended for global use.

The objectives, approaches and partnerships vary by activity. Activities under this project are:
