FAO and its partners supported the preparation of ‘Voluntary Guidelines on<br />

the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the<br />

Context of National Food Security’. These Guidelines have been prepared and<br />

negotiated through a participatory process since 2009, and endorsed in May<br />

2012 by the Committee on World Food Security. They are the first intergovernmental<br />

comprehensive global instrument on tenure and its administration.<br />

They provide guidance for improving the institutions that regulate tenure<br />

rights; for enhancing equitable tenure rights and the administration of tenure<br />

systems; and for improving the capacities of organisations concerned with<br />

governance of tenure.<br />

Organised by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations – FAO<br />
