rural youth in Bolivia and Senegal;

about how to improve strategies and policies to
secure and promote youth access to land;

3. • Procasur is a member of the regional ILC
Platform in LAC since 2010
• Focal point for rural youth since 2014;
• Working with rural youth since 2008: Rural
Youth Programme funded by IFAD which
improved knowledge on the needs and
expectations of rural youth;

4. • February 2014: launched a call for research to
better understand local strategies that facilitate
youth access to land promoted by ILC, Procasur
and IFAD
• Received more than 100 proposals,
• Funded 6 with ILC funds and additional 4 with
Procasur funds through the Youth programme;
• Objective: improve understanding of specific
challenges and extract lessons to improve
strategies and approaches to facilitate youth
access to land

5. Results from the comparative analysis:
Mechanisms of access to land for rural youth
in LAC
1. Inheritance
2. Rights to use the family plot
3. Shared inheritance and co-ownership
4. Inheritance received in life and land
partition
5. Purchasing land on the market

6. Challenges:
• Lack of registries and clearing of land titles;
• Land concentration and fragmentation;
• Absence of family planning and access
insecurity
• Barriers based on gender

7. Case 1: Heirs of the land reform at Chancay
river Valley, Peru
Case 2: Practices and expectations of young
people in intergenerational perspective in a war
context, Colombia
Case 3: Young Women and access to land in the
highland of Bolivia
Case 4: Life trajectories and projects of young
peoples in rural communities of Guatemala
Case 5: Land titling and impact on young
farmers, Chaco, Argentina
Case 6: Inheritance to rural youth in Rio Blanco,
Nicaragua.

8. Some lessons learned:
• Encourage inheritance received in life;
• Capacitate young peoples with certified
trainings;
• Support young peoples in the analysis and
decision making;
• Adopt gender/equity approaches and work
supporting young couples owing land
• Encourage participation of young in
designing land programs for rural youth;

9. • Intergenerational dialogue as part of the
family strategy;
