Hakí designs, implements, and evaluates international development projects for a range of international donors, utilizing our network of local NGO partners to ensure projects are community-driven and build capacity toward sustainability.

Strengthening Land and Resource Rights. Increase land tenure security through social tenure domain model community-level land rights mapping; Strengthen property rights for natural resources to improve management, conservation and mitigate climate change;

Building Civil Society Capacity to Improve Governance. Support civil society monitoring of public expenditures and service delivery; Strengthen civil society advocacy for land and property rights on behalf of farmers, informal sector workers, and other vulnerable populations;

Access to Justice and Customary Justice Reform. Assess and design national legal aid systems; Train customary justice leaders to prevent human rights violations at customary courts;

Building the Rule of Law in Post-Conflict Environments. Provide mediation and community dispute resolution in post-conflict countries; Assist local civil society to conduct legal awareness campaigns that educate citizens on their rights and encourage greater civic engagement.
