The Mekong Region Land Governance (MRLG) Project is dedicated to advancing the recognition of customary tenure rights within forested landscapes across the Mekong Region. Spearheaded by the Mekong Region Land Governance, our initiative brings together a coalition of regional organizations.

NTFP-EP has been implementing activities and initiatives on land and tenure rights with support from the MRLG for 2 Phases since October 2021, as part of a Regional Alliance on Customary Tenure, together with RECOFTC, Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact, and Asian Farmers Association, and the Customary Tenure Alliance members representing Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam.  The main objective of this alliance is to promote safeguard mechanisms for the recognition and protection of customary tenure rights for forest-dependent communities, farmers, Indigenous Peoples, ethnic minorities, and women in the Mekong Region, in collaboration with regional platforms on forests, land, and natural resources.

MRLG Project receives funding support from esteemed partners such as SDC (Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation), the Government of Luxembourg, and BMZ (German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development)
