Despite transforming economies and growing urbanization, Asia is still largely agricultural and most of the region’s poverty is in its rural communities.
Thus, the ANGOC network is still largely focused on improving land rights of Asia’s farmers, indigenous peoples, and fisherfolk, and rural women.
The year 2024 saw several initiatives undertaken by the network and its members towards advancing land rights, enhancing land dispute and conflict monitoring, actively engaging land rights networks and government partners, and forging alliances with supporters.
