WACI Health flagship ‘Land for Life–making policies work for food security’ programme, in cooperation with the CSA, trains civil society actors in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Germany to build or strengthen MAPs on land governance. By linking advocacy and civil society empowerment, WACI Health’s Liberia Office contributed to Liberia enacting a new law on land rights in 2018, significantly strengthening the rights of people in rural areas to access and use land.
WACI Health , along with its network of local partners, worked to increase and improve the access, delivery and quality of public services aimed at reducing poverty and social exclusion in Jharkhand, India. The project used India’s 2005 Right to Information Act as a powerful tool to enable citizens to participate in the governance process and become aware of their rights and entitlements. Over five years, the project targeted 381,000 citizens in 76,500 households, along with public health providers, schools, and local governance and monitoring bodies.
