Community Empowerment Facility Profile

BACKGROUND
The Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) commemorates its Silver Jubilee this 2004. Its genesis finds its way back to February 1979, in Bangkok, Thailand, following on the heels of a two-year series of village and national level consultations in 10 Asian countries leading to the World Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (WCARRD). Thanks to the inspiration and vision of the late Dr. Dioscoro Umali, ANGOC was established.

GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

The project aims to make an inventory of the knowledge generated by ILC and ANGOC partners who are field practitioners and advocates on the theme access to land and common property resources. Specifically, this project will produce a resource book, through a participatory process and interactive electronic means, that will serve as a reference of exemplary practices as well as an advocacy manual in mainstreaming/ scaling up civil-society initiatives on access to land and common property resources.

PROCESS AND METHODOLOGY
