Recommendations
• A moratorium should be placed to all current and future land administration projects to allow for time, reflection, and true informed consent about the long term consequences of land titling.
• Help indigenous communities reconstitute their lands under customary governance or to create by-laws regulating the sale of village lands.
• Help communities negotiate and re-acquire access to their sacred sites that were privatized by land administration projects
• A holistic inventory of different types of communal lands.
