States should promote policies and laws to provide recognition to such informal tenure. The process of establishing these policies and laws should be
participatory, gender sensitive and strive to make provision for technical and legal support to affected communities and individuals. In particular,

10.3
Whenever States provide legal recognition to informal tenure, this should be done through participatory, gender-sensitive processes, having particular regard to tenants. In doing so, States should pay special attention to farmers and small-scale food producers. These processes should facilitate access to legalization services and minimize costs. State should strive to provide technical and legal support to communities and participants. |
