The Church Land Programme (CLP) is an independent non-profit organisation that works through a process of animation with groups of poor people to create unique responses to their unique situations. CLP was initiated in 1996 as a joint project between the Association for Rural Advancement (Afra) and the Pietermaritzburg Agency for Christian Social Awareness (Pacsa), in response to the land reform p

rocess taking place in South Africa. It was established as an independent organisation in 1997 and initially focused on church owned land while also challenging the Church to engage in the national land question and work for a just and sustainable agrarian transformation.

WOMEN'S DIALOGUE IN NEWCASTLE
A women's dialogue was held this week, 23 & 24 August, in Newcastle. Women shared about their different experiences of being women and how they connect to the land. They discussed ways of breaking down barriers to land rights. It was a shared, free space of young and old, reflecting on land issues from a women's perspective. There were women from mining-affected communities, farm-dwellers as well as United churches from traditional owned land.

The theme of the day was “Restoring the dignity of the farm- dweller and their safety”.
