    • Dear Team

      After going through the document which has been worked on thoroughly, I would like to say we have done a great job.

      What I could not see clearly is the political group as the target audience. These are not policy makers neither are their just other stakeholders or community but are key in influencing decisions and the implementation of such guide to rectify some sections of the law. I therefore would like a detail on the role of political groups, how they could be approached to influence land issues.

      If all parties agree to this and it’s approved by some processes, how could it be marketed for domestication? Will a committee under FAO or WFP be tasked with rolling out the guide to countries and work to guide vulnerable countries involving political parties?
