TFCG and MJUMITA have published a policy brief on landissues and REDD.  The brief, titled, “A one-step guide to making the National REDD strategy more pro-poor,” explains that the one and only step is “recognizing community rights to village land.”  The brief covers issues such as avoiding land grabbing and understanding general lands vs. village lands.
