Indigenous Pygmy and local communities in Bikoro. With Cadasta’s geospatial platform and tailored training, SPFA is producing real-time land and forest data that can feed into the DRC’s National Land Information System.
The project is closely coordinated with CONAREF, the national land reform commission, ensuring that community-generated data directly informs government policy. Launched in 2024, the initiative is helping to resolve boundary land conflicts, protect forests, and build long-term climate and social stability.
By integrating customary rights into national reform, this partnership demonstrates how locally-led, technology-enabled approaches can transform land governance and advance equity.
