LEMU creates wide ranging written output to share the findings of our work, represent the positions which benefit the communities we serve and inform policy making.
Please browse our publications, which we share to contribute to the ongoing land rights discussions. Clicking the links will take you to specific areas of our documents.
There are four document ‘types’
Research: LEMU original research or papers.
Information papers: Factual documents which are more ’timeless’ than the others, e.g instructional documents.
LEMU Advocacy: setting out a particular position that LEMU takes.
PPRR: the publications of documented land governance for different areas. PPRR is Principles, Practices, Rights and Responsibilities
