The main purpose of this intervention is that the rights of peasants, their agroecological practices and their demand for climate justice are formative to rural and agrarian policies in South and Eastern Africa on local, national and regional levels. The means to do this is to support the LVC SEAf network as champions of the human rights of peasants. The intervention will specifically support the member organisations in the LVC SEAf network in their efforts to organise the SSFPs in the region, educate them on their rights and push for the implementation of the UNDROP as a means to better their livelihoods and achieve climate justice. Pushing for peasants’ rights requires that peasants have a basic material wellbeing, including mechanisms that make them more resilient to the impacts of climate change and the expansion of industrial agriculture in the region. This intervention builds on the successes of expanding the use of agroecological farming methods.
