Land Governance

The training was part of the Projet d’appui à la gestion foncière locale (PFL), issued by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Benin to be implemented by VNG International between 2015 and 2018. A local team coordinated the implementation of the project in Benin, supported by specialised experts.
