Common Landscape Project:

Strengthening land, water, and forest management through community participation, connecting local action with broader strategies to build resilient landscapes and sustainable livelihoods.

The Commons Landscape Project in Keonjhar, led by WOSCA with support from Living Landscapes, seeks to restore and regenerate land, water, and forest commons through participatory governance. 

Rooted in the Living Landscapes framework, it empowers communities as ecological custodians blending rights-based development, landscape planning, and institutional convergence to build resilience.

Implemented across five tribal-dominated blocks Ghatagaon, Patna, Saharpada, Harichandanpur, and Telkoi the project strengthens community ownership, improves water security, promotes sustainable agriculture, and creates climate-resilient livelihoods, ensuring sustainable rural futures for the people of Keonjhar.
