Rural and Indigenous peoples across Burma and around the world have developed diverse and well- adapted systems of land and natural resource governance. These systems are rooted in the people’s culture, worldview, social values, and political institutions. Mainly existing in the highlands of Kawthoolei (Karen State), customary land institutions are collectively known as Kaw. To know more about Kaw and its governance system, please see the Kaw Briefer and Kaw Policy Briefer.
