 I'm Mobin Jina working with Community Development Association, CDA, it is a local organisation working at the grass root level with the landless poor people and we are involved in facilitating to the landless people to recover the public land for ensuring and securing their land rights to achieve the food security in the long run because you know Bangladesh is a predominantly agricultural country and our part northern part is a plain land and close to the Himalayas and Ganges and we have a lot of resource land resources and mine resources so CDA is working since 30 years in this area to change the poverty situation and the disempowering situation of the landless poor. We are involved in promoting their socio-cultural and economic conditions through land rights program and the agrarian reforms. The major challenges are there because you know Bangladesh was the colony of Pakistan was the colony of British the then but what happened you know gradually the population growth you know helped us to reform the lands and land reforms is confined within the ceiling of you know amount of the land so in that case you know about 60 vega 33 acres of land can be holding by the landowners now and most of the you know excess land are now under the government custody so government and government in the year 1984 and the 1997 there are some amendments for the poor people it's a poor poor policies are there to distribute redistribute the excess land to among the landless rural poor and we are on behalf of that policies most of the NGOs those who are close with the rural areas they are facilitating the landless poor people to obtain this kind of the land for their survivability and for the day-to-day livelihood but the problem is the bad politicians problem is the bureaucrats bad criminal bureaucrats and some legislative you know regulatory systems are there these are the you know policy constraints that's why the poor people doesn't have the excess into the harsh or public land in that case some of the NGOs and we have the alliance for the land reforms and development we are working in advocacy with the support from the grassroots networks national networks regional networks as well as the international networks and that's why I came here in this world forum for access to land and the natural resources is much more helpful for us in future to ensure the policies and to you know access to the laws and regulations so that the poor people can have their access as well as the food security through land rights land rights
