The first Traditional Leaders Caucus was held under the theme “Sustainable Land-Based Investment and Environmental Governance in Zambia” at Mulungushi International Conference Centre on the 12th of October, 2022 which attracted fifteen traditional leaders from across Zambia.

The Caucus was convened by the Centre for Environment Justice (CEJ). This was with the objective of achieving good governance and social safeguards by resolving limitations in existing legal and policy frameworks on land-use investments through multi-stakeholder dialogues. CEJ invited the Advancing Land-Based Investment Governance (ALIGN) consortium. The consortium is made up of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), Namati and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI).
