Abstract
This article presents an innovative methodological approach for the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) based on the model ‘Working with People’ (WWP). This WWPmodel is proposed for the application of the VGGT in Colombia and Guatemala, based on four phases. The results show that the WWPmodel turned out to be a useful tool for implementation of the VGGT. The generation of trust and dialogue through multi-stakeholder platforms proposed a new look on how to resolve the issue of land tenure in areas affected by armed conflicts.
