Policy Influence

Land for Life Initiative Sierra Leone has collaborated with selected CSOs to publish a detailed policy brief addressed to Sierra Leone’s Parliament (thus titled Parliamentary Brief), making policy recommendations for a review of land bills introduced in parliament in October 2021. The outcomes of district-level engagements held in the four Land for Life districts influenced the Brief.

The participation of Land for Life at various levels of engagement has led to the enactment of two significant laws: the Customary Land Rights and Land Commission Acts 2022. The laws have created a critical change in the land governance sector of the country. The 2022-2026 Strategic Plan of Land for Life Initiative Sierra Leone  placed the full implementation of the Land Laws at the top of its strategic priorities.
