Karol Boudreaux, Land Tenure Practice Lead @
WB Land and Poverty Conf. 2016
► #1: Growing concern/interest in recognizing and respecting “community”
land rights per: VGGT, LPI’s P&F Guide & other soft law
► This goes beyond Indigenous People’s traditional territories
► Includes customary lands, commons areas – being defined very
broadly
► This has important implications for project development
► Need to understand where these lands are
► Which community members must be consulted
► How to develop “best practice” CBAs?

change
► What works in the developed world (sort of) DOES NOT work in the
developing world
► What needs to change?
► Greater attention to “who” has rights
► Emphasis on recognizing secondary rights
► New approaches to “shared benefits”
