Diamonds, Development, and Property Rights (24 Minutes)

This video details the problems faced by diamond miners working with alluvial diamonds in the Central African Republic, and the challenges of affirming property rights at the grass roots level. The video briefly summarizes the 8-step process PRADD developed to translate customary rights into statutory rights. The process combines community development techniques to identify, organize, and motivate miners with GPS devices to precisely locate the mining claims.

More than a piece of paper (31 Minutes)

This video details the 8-step process PRADD developed to make the customary property rights of tribal communities visible within the structure of national statutory laws.
