Since 2018, Tenure Facility publishes an Annual Report providing a rich and detailed look at our progress and that of our partners over the previous year. The Annual Report is an opportunity to showcase our work in the field, both in terms of quantitative results and the human stories behind our support for community land rights, as well as financial records and messages from our Executive Director, and the Chair of the Board of Directors.
In 2024, our partners secured formal recognition of land rights over 4.5 million hectares and strengthened tenure and governance across approximately 34 million hectares — lands that protect not only their homes but also our planet’s vital forests and other ecosystems. From Colombia to the Congo Basin to Papua, their leadership is driving meaningful impact at every level, from local forests to national policies. Our 2024 annual report is a story of real change, resilience, and hard-won victories that deserves to be celebrated.
In 2023, our partners’ efforts led to the formal recognition of more than 2 million hectares of land and forest. This significant progress also included improvements in tenure security and governance across nearly 22 million hectares. Our 2023 annual report is more than just a reflection of these past achievements; it is a beacon of hope in turbulent times and a call to action. Together with the continued support of our donors and the dedication of our partners, local and indigenous communities can thrive.
