The project is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GIZ GmbH (GIZ). The GV ‘Responsible Land Policy’ has country components in Laos, Peru, Benin, Uganda, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. The module objective of the global project is: ‘Access to land as a central prerequisite for poverty and hunger reduction in rural areas has improved for certain population groups, especially women and marginalised groups, in selected partner countries’. The focus is on three fields of action: 1) Improving procedures to secure land use or land tenure rights for the rural population. 2) Strengthening civil society; and 3) Improving the framework conditions for responsible agricultural investments. BMZ commissioned GIZ to pilot and test nexus topics within the GV. The country packages, Benin, Madagascar, Uganda, and Ethiopia are selected to implement these pilot projects. The overall objective of the consultancy is to contribute to the overall implementation of the above-mentioned GV.
