Improving governance of land-based investments: case studies exploring the strategies and impact of the ALIGN technical support facility
Across the global South, land-based investments are triggering sweeping livelihood changes and increasing land pressures. The ALIGN technical support facility was designed to respond to the challenges of these projects by providing practical support for improving governance of land-based investments.
Set up under the Advancing Land-based Investment Governance (ALIGN) project, the facility provided targeted and responsive support to governments, civil society and other relevant actors, in a diversity of contexts. This provided a rich source of insights on approaches, strategies and politically-savvy ways of working to deliver more systemic governance reforms.
The work of the facility offers helpful lessons on delivering effective technical support, as well as the types of interventions and ways of working that can meaningfully contribute to more systemic change. The case studies presented in this publication represent a small sample of the requests supported through the technical support facility and are intended to highlight some of the key insights that have emerged.
