Background:
Dealing with communities is an inclusive part of development projects and large-size government initiatives. Communities are your key stakeholder in any such endeavors. The World Bank has come with detailed guidance documents on how each project should ensure it has access to suitable resources, (mainly land plots) for its implementation. Various modern mechanisms have emerged such as ” Public-private partnerships (PPPs) that can be a tool to get more quality infrastructure services to more people.
Awareness raising, mobilization, and advocacy will pave the way to deal with communities, but there is another key aspect that comes when the actual transactions occur. Here the role of a legal expert negotiator becomes vital. Considering the fact that such expertise is needed in an integrated manner from the design stage, the legal expert must have a certain knowledge of development work, and approaches to deal with communities, and facilitate the process as an educator in the meantime.
This course addresses the need of all managers and officers who are involved in land acquisition and development projects. It can offer a unique learning opportunity to both public and private entities. Further, it is regularly updated with modern-day approaches and internationally recognized strategies.
