Africa in Tunis.
This time, the periodic HIC Middle East/North Africa
event will be the first-ever civil-society effort dedicated to building
capacity for implementing, monitoring and evaluating performance of the
international Voluntary
Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Forests and Fisheries in
the region. HIC-HLRN’s 6th Land Forum in Tunis is largely supported by FAO of
the United Nations and civil society participants from Algeria, Egypt, Iran,
Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Tunisia, Western Sahara and
Yemen.
The outcomes of the Land Forum will advance CSO
cooperation with FAO Regional Initiatives and identify gaps and priorities to
be filled by civil society programs and advocacy. The event also serves as a
platform for civil society cooperation in FAO’s Near East Regional Conference
34 (NERC34), scheduled for May 2018.
