Monitoring Should Be Inclusive &
Participatory
As the rural poor, small-scale food
producers, and vulnerable and marginalized groups are the main beneficiaries of
the Voluntary Guidelines, these groups, along with civil society organizations,
should play a strong role in the monitoring activities. The participation of
civil society in monitoring of the Guidelines should be two-fold: Firstly,
civil society should be included through the creation of national multi-actor
platforms, as recommended by the Guidelines. In addition, civil society should
be enabled to carry out independent monitoring of the implementation of the
Voluntary Guidelines......This means that civil society should be included in
all phases of implementation and monitoring of the Guidelines, including the
identification of priorities and the evaluation of the implementation.
Concretely, this means that indicators with benchmarks for monitoring
implementation of the guidelines should be elaborated with the participation of
civil society.....

Campesina Report 2012 Report:
"The world crises in finance,
food, and climate, have triggered a rush by investors and governments to
acquire agricultural land and natural resources......Although women are the
main food producers in the world and the first responsible for well-being of
their families and communities, existing patriarchal structures continue to
deprive them of their rights to land and natural resources. As most women peasants
and family farmers do not have perennial legitimately recognized access to
land, they are particularly vulnerable to land grabbing, expulsions, and
expropriations."
