Organiser(s): Marc Wegerif (University of Pretoria), Paul Hebinck (Wageningen University/Rhodes University), Eileen Wakesho Mwagae (Namati) and Nxumalo, Buhlebenkosi (International Land Coalition).
Session format: Roundtable.
This session will be a space for land activists to share how they are organizing grassroots land and land governance reforms to build resilience in the face of crises. These initiatives are many, from women organizing to defend their land rights in the face of gender discrimination, to land occupations led by landless and homeless people to meet their needs, and community initiatives to improve communal land governance.
There is much that can be shared and learnt from such grassroots experiences around the world. We are lining up people with interesting experiences to share and welcome other suggestions and volunteers willing to share from their work, actions and practices in relation to people created land governance, and resilience in the face of crises.
I am a Lecturer in Development Studies at the University of Pretoria. My research focusses on agrarian transformation, land rights and food systems. I have over 30 years of development sector work experience from project level to national and international policy and advocacy. My Doctorate was obtained with the Rural Sociology Group at Wageningen University.
