The Community Land Rights Champions Orientation Manual is a practical toolkit developed by Transparency International Zambia (TI-Z) to help community champions understand and address land governance challenges. It provides clear explanations of key issues such as corruption, land corruption, land tenure systems, land rights, and the laws that regulate land administration in Zambia.
The manual highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both customary and statutory land systems, helping citizens navigate processes that often lead to disputes, displacement, and insecurity of tenure. It also outlines common causes of land conflicts and offers guidance on preventing them through proper procedures, documentation, and awareness of local rules.
Additionally, the handbook explains how communities can access support through TI-Z’s Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre (ALAC), which offers free legal advice and a safe platform for reporting land-related corruption.
Overall, the manual empowers community members with essential knowledge to promote transparency, protect land rights, and strengthen accountability in Zambia’s land sector.
