It is tasked to: prepare a land use policy in collaboration with local and international experts, ensure that land use plans clearly demarcate forest land, secure access to water for local communities and allocate land to commercial plantations, and provide recommendations about reforms required to ensure that the use of land and natural resources is equitable and promotes socio-economic development. The committee should also examine the existing legislation and recommend and prepare revisions, particularly by conducting a review of the land revenue system. It monitors whether land confiscation has been carried out in compliance with existing law, whether land has been used for its intended purpose and if the project has been completed as planned on allocated land, whether land has been allocated through a transparent process and involved negotiations with local communities, if adequate compensation has been paid, and if the costs of resettlement have been covered.
