On January 14, 2026, KEAN held a report launch and press conference event about “Approaches to Promote and Protect the Land and Natural Resource Rights of the Karenni Indigenous People.” During this event, key findings on the land and resource management situation of the Karenni indigenous people, the expansion of land transactions, and land and natural resource management-related issues affecting the Karenni were presented. This report presents three approaches to improving the land governance mechanism in Karen State. In doing so, it is proposed to approach the 5Rs framework, the Karenni Interim Land Policy, and international mechanisms for promoting the rights of indigenous peoples to land, resources, and territory. Based on these approaches, it is proposed to address the priority issues and develop and implement the necessary mechanisms for long-term management. At the same time, it is recommended to four key stakeholders to strengthen land and resource governance mechanisms and promote sustainable land and resource management in Karenni State.
