Tenure rights represent a gateway towards the fulfillment of other essential human rights such as the right to food, right to life, right to self identification etc. The NES Malawi recognizes the importance of this bundle of rights and is working with various stakeholders to ensure the right bearers are able to defend these rights and duty bearers are equiped to respect and defend these rights.
