This publication sets out GLTN’s initial thinking on how effective and genuine grassroots participation can be a fundamental element of development of land tools at scale. The publication suggests twelve criteria for ensuring and assessing quality grassroots participation, which are distilled from various case studies and lessons learned by partners. It then sets out four ways in which grassroots participation can be integrated in land tool development: (1) development of large-scale land tools by any stakeholder; (2) scaling up of community-led land initiatives; (3) strengthening the capacity of the grassroots to engage in land administration and management; and (4) promoting grassroots participation amongst GLTN partners.
