SECURING THE RIGHT TO LAND Message x ActionAid International (AAI) considers poor and excluded people’s rights to land as one of its principal agenda which is intimately linked with their food security and sovereignty. However, in most countries in Asia (and elsewhere) a few rich people have monopoly over vast areas of land thereby depriving the poor of their fair share. Equitable land distribution through proper land reform has not happened in most countries except a few. Increasingly, rich businesses are buying productive land, either for industry or for commercial agriculture, further marginalizing the poor and excluded people. Several governments in the region are changing their policies in favor of the business sector in a bid to attract more investment into their countries. All these neo-liberal policies and practices are alienating farmers from their land and prompting mass exodus from the rural areas to the cities and abroad in search of work, thereby jeopardizing their fragile lives and livelihood. In this context, we must commend the campaign spearheaded by Land Watch Asia to embolden people’s groups to fight for their rights and lobby governments to promulgate and implement policies that safeguard poor people’s rights to land. The event which brought together rights activists from Asia and several other stakeholders from elsewhere in Bangkok to discuss the findings of their research and campaign work shows violations that poor people face at different levels and their ongoing struggles to claim their rights. The report also draws from the successful experiences from various Asian countries and the need for continued struggle at the national, regional and global arena to ensure that agrarian reforms would guarantee land to poor people. ActionAid would definitely like to continue being a partner of Land Watch Asia and take part in struggles together with members of regional and international networks fighting for land rights. We would like to appreciate the work undertaken by coalition partners in countries and in the region. We also acknowledge ANGOC for ably coordinating the Land Watch Asia campaign work.
