Land - Tenure, Grabs, Gender and the Law: Report on a Mokoro Seminar

"On 22 November 2011 Mokoro hosted a seminar on Land – Tenure, Grabs, Gender and the Law. It attracted an audience of around 40, a mix of individual consultants, small consultancy firms, NGO workers (from Oxfam and ActionAid), academics and researchers. There was very positive feedback from many participants, which was good to hear, since I had organized and chaired it! I had decorated the room with cartoons, press cuttings and T-shirts illustrating land grabbing, arranged the chairs in circles rather than rows, and asked the 4 speakers to talk to the audience rather than show powerpoints. The consensus was that this ‘intimacy’ worked very well. The audience was very receptive and there were lively discussions."
