description

This is the final report of a study conducted with participative methods in Guinea, West Africa. The study analyses the functionality of small farmer organisations and the role they play in agricultural land issues. After a short introduction in chapter 1, we identify the macro-sociological context of the study as well as its importance for the country's development in chapter 2. The following chapter 3 treats the context of land use and land rights in the Fouta Djallon region as well as more specifically in our intervention zone. The empirical part in chapter 4 analyses the functionality of a range of small farmer organisations in the sub-prefecture Hind, prefecture Lab. In the following chapter 5 we point out the general problems identified within our study and conclude with a discussion on the perspectives, farmer organisations can have in land management and resource protection.
