Sierre Leone - Some landowners and land users take action

From 2 – 3 April, 2012, Green Scenery and partner Right to Food (SiLNoRF) brought together 100 land owners and land users to a national conference. The delegates from eight districts and twenty chiefdoms either affected or about to be affected by large scale land acquisition for agribusiness in Sierra Leone state their serious concerns about large scale land acquisition for agribusiness in Sierra Leone.

 

At the end of the conference they published a communique and launched a watchdog "ALLAT".

  • ALLAT - Action for Large scale Land Acquisition Transparency  - is established to ensure transparent and accountable land governance system in Sierra Leone.
  • They share major concerns and make recommendations to the Government of Sierra Leone and all decision-makers at all levels (international, national, district, chiefdom and local) in a communique.
