About Us

At LECC Baraza, we recognize the intrinsic connections among these domains, understanding that effective land governance is crucial for environmental protection, which in turn is vital for addressing the challenges posed by climate change. Historically, these areas have operated in silos, leading to fragmented approaches that fail to consider their interdependencies. For instance, land governance issues are often tackled in isolation, neglecting the critical links to environmental conservation and climate change response. This disconnect is evident in our legal frameworks and land planning policies, which seldom integrate considerations of environmental protection or climate change response.

Moreover, professionals and stakeholders across these sectors—particularly within the justice system—often lack a comprehensive understanding of how these fields intersect. This disconnect has resulted in decisions that are inadequately informed, failing to address the complexities and nuances involved in land governance, environmental protection, and limate change response.

LECC Baraza aims to bridge these gaps by fostering a collaborative environment where multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral engagement can thrive. We strive to create a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange among stakeholders in land governance, environmental protection, and climate change response. By doing so, we hope to promote a more cohesive approach that not only addresses current challenges but also anticipates future needs, ensuring sustainable development for all.
