Improving land governance and reducing conflicts linked to cross-border transhumance constitute a major challenge for peace and security in Chad, the Central African Republic and Cameroon. This project of the FAO will focus on building the capacity of national and local actors to use the Voluntary Guidelines for Responsible Land Tenure Governance. This will help each country to have a national roadmap for the reform process which will include actions related to pastoralism and transhumance but also interactions with protected areas.
According to INGEBORG GAARD the FAO does not only help in eliminating hunger and poverty but assures social stability ,protection of the environment but also economic and social durable développement .
Since its establishment in 1945, FAO has recognized equal access to land and security of tenure as essential to achieving food and nutrition security and the eradication of rural poverty. For decades, FAO has undertaken extensive technical work on agrarian reform and land management.
