The Land Policy Initiative (LPI) in partnership with the Government of Tanzania will hold a workshop and a series of meetings from 19-23 June 2017 in support of land governance and agricultural transformation in Tanzania.

These events comprise consultations with ministers and senior leadership in the land and agricultural sectors in Dodoma (19-21 June); a workshop to validate the Country Report on Mainstreaming Land Governance in the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) and launch of the Pilot Project on Monitoring and Evaluation for Land Governance (MELA) in Dar es Salaam (23 June); and a meeting of the Secretariat coordinating the mainstreaming of land governance in land related sectors (22 June).
