Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.
7

Inclusive decision-making

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

CSRC’s mission is to empower poor women and men living in rural areas, and enable them to claim and exercise their basic rights, including right to land resources. To achieve the mission, CSRC implements programmes and projects aimed to build the capacity of the rights holders (poor women and men), to change and/or enact polices in favour of the land poor, to develop new/alternative models of land reform, and to create and mobilize change agents at the community level in favour of pro-poor rural people. 

CSRC is a social movement and organization which works directly with poor and excluded people, in order to establish a just and equitable society by tapping the potentials and building a sustainable movement of tenants, landless farmers, Kamaiya, Haliya and other land-deprived men and women. CSRC focuses on land rights and social mobilization through the capacity building of people deprived of land rights. CSRC's vision is of a Nepali society where everyone enjoys a secure, free and dignified life.

Objectives

The organization's objectives include organizing, strengthening and mobilizing rights holders (land poor women and men) to claim and exercise their rights, to build national consensus on land reform framework and initiate actions towards development of a pro-poor land policy and land governance through policy advocacy both at national and international levels, to promote critical engagement with non-state stakeholders.

Constituencies

CSRC's constituencies include landless people and tillers.
