CAPAD

CONFEDERATION DES ASSOCIATIONS DES PRODUCTEURS AGRICOLES POUR LE DEVELOPPEMENT

Member since: 2015

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.

Diverse Tenure Systems

Mission

It envisions a society in which farmers are able to meet their socio-economic needs by financial and material needs which they generate themselves.

Objectives

To contribute to poverty reduction; to provide agricultural producers with access to the most profitable and successful channels in their region; to educate agricultural producers to promote a culture of saving; to defend the social, economic and cultural rights of producers; to enable the emergence of a peasant movement/leadership; to contribute to the promotion of gender equality; to promote amongst peasant communities the values of tolerance, reconciliation and solidarity; to educate producers on the improvement of health in rural areas; to enable producers to take part in environmental protection; to provide support; and to encourage youth to pursue their development initiatives.
