Poor farmers have been provided with information on land use rights through training on the Land Law and 13 other topics on land governance, assisting with increasing land use rate. Approximately 800 households (accounting for 90% of all households) participated in these training sessions, farmer field school, experimental models and other communication activities.
Apart from this, farmers were encouraged to give comments on the communes' socio-economic development plans and directives and to formulate a five year plan on land use and planning for the period 2011-2015. As a result, land management in these communes has been strengthened and land use plans have become more feasible. The farmers have also become more responsible for theimplementation of those plans, ensuring successful community-based land use and management.
