The LIFE project was launched in 2014 to address these shortcomings in land policy and its implementation, and the consequent missed opportunities for Lao farmers.
LIFE was established by a broad coalition of civil society organizations (CSOs) that are members of the Land Information Working Group (LIWG). The project is hosted by Village Focus International (VFI) and implemented by a consortium of partners.
Highlights of the project:
- LIFE excels at making complex theoretical concepts, such as articles and provisions of Lao land laws and regulations, understandable to laypersons from various backgrounds
- LIFE’s training materials and coaching sessions are tailored to match the differing contexts and needs of each recipient
- LIFE successfully mainstreams land issues into recipient organisations’ regular activities regardless of their primary focus. It also strengthens the land tenure security of smallholder farmers over the long term
- LIFE’s training is designed to enable and encourage recipients to replicate the training in their communities, creating a multiplier ripple effect
- LIFE has over time developed a team of trainers exceptionally skilled at fostering real dialogue between diverse stakeholders about land issues
