The financing sector tends to focus on supporting largescale companies, taking as a starting point the assumption that ownership and use rights exist and have been legally obtained. The Working Group looked into a number of projects and funds that are financing alternative and innovative land related activities with smallholder farmers and local communities, and scoping interviews were carried out with, the Dutch Development Bank FMO, and two companies, Komaza in Kenya and Mali Biocarburant SA. The findings have been summarized in this document.
