LOGO
The Namati logo is the primary representation of the brand. Used properly and consistently it becomes one of our most valuable brand assets. The primary version of the logo should be used predominately, unless circumstances dictate otherwise.
PRIMARY
SOCIAL
File Types
For print materials or marketing items (pens, t-shirts, hats), use CMYK with PDF, AI or EPS files. For digital pieces, use RGB with PNG or JPG files.
Clear Space
To ensure legibility, always keep a minimum clear space around the logo. This space isolates the mark from any competing graphic elements like other logos or body copy that might conflict with, overcrowd, and lessen the impact of the mark.
The minimum clear space is defined as the height of the “N.” This minimum space should be maintained as the logo is proportionally resized.
Minimum Size
This measurement refers to the smallest dimensions allowed for reproduction. Stated as a minimum width, minimum size ensures the legibility and visual clarity of the brand element.
Color Usage
The usage for Namati is fairly minimal. The logo will mostly be used in Namati blue or white.
Unacceptable Usage
A few rules are necessary for maintaining the integrity of the brand. Don’t compromise the overall look of the logo by rotating, skewing or distorting in any way - that includes adding unnecessary and unattractive text decorations like drop shadows and outlines.
Co-branding
Aligning partnership logos should follow clear space rules. The separating line between the two logos can be created using a 2pt stroke, .75” in length, in a neutral color.
Namati branding should always be used throughout co-branded collateral.
TYPOGRAPHY
Typography is a powerful brand tool when used consistently. This set of typefaces best represent the bold and modern feel of the brand and should be used across all print and web applications.
Oxygen
The headline and subhead typeface is Oxygen. Specific weights, such as light, regular or bold, are used for different types of text.
Light Regular Bold
HEADLINE FONT
BODY
COPY FONT
Open Sans
Open Sans Regular is used primarily for body copy.
It is a crisp, easy to read typeface that scales well. The typeface has a variety of other weights to choose from. These other weights should be used sparingly. See following pages for the recommended use.
Hierarchy
Typography must be used consistently in order to ensure a clear connection. Each typographic element contributes to the success of the overall style. Exceptions for creative liberties can made, on occasion.
When designing text for headlines, the Oxygen typeface should maintain 30-56 point font size. The text for sub-heads using the Oxygen typeface should maintain 15-28 point font size.
Open Sans Regular is reserved for body copy, range in size from 9-14 points. Captions should be set in italic or light italic, not to exceed 8 points in size.

Caption copy or footnote information utilizes Open Sans Light Italic or Regular Italic. Set in 90% black, not to exceed 8 points in size, with 25 point tracking, and at least 11 point leading.
How to Use
In all cases, the italic and bold variations should be used sparingly — for emphasis only.
When designing with text for headlines or sub-heads, the Oxygen typeface can be set in either 90% black or one of the primary or secondary colors. All caps or title case is interchangeable.
Open Sans Regular is reserved for body copy, in 90% black, with opportunities to call attention to important information by applying secondary colors.
TYPOGRAPHIC FORMULA
It is important to follow these proportions when creating materials in order to maintain brand consistency.
Leading & Tracking
For headlines and subheads, leading is always 10% greater than the size point size of the text. For example, when the point size of the text is 30pt, the leading becomes 33pt. For body copy, leading is always 40% greater than the point size of the text. For example, when the point size of the text is 10pt, the leading becomes 14pt.
The following applies for both Open Sans and Oxygen. Tracking should be set at 40 for text 18pt size and smaller. It should be set at 0 for text greater than 18pt size.
Text Size
Apply a ratio combination of 1:2 for headings to sub-head and sub-head to body copy, and a ratio of 1:5 for headings to body copy. The sub-head text should be approximately half the size of the headline, and the body copy should be roughly one fifth the size of the headline. For example, if the headline is 58pts, the sub-head should be 29pts and the body copy should be 11-12pts. If there is only a sub-head to reference, the body copy should use the 1:2 ratio. For example, the sub-head is 18pts, the body copy should be 9pts.
However, the body copy should never be reduced less than 9pts in size. If that threshold is reached, maintain only the 1:2 ratio for the headline and subheads.
Should you need additional sub-sections within a text heavy document, either bold and/or apply all caps to the body copy to create the section or paragraph header. Avoid layering a document with too many text sizes, and utitlize secondary colors, capitalization, and bolding.
SAMPLE
OXYGEN HEADLINE: Uses 30pt size, 33pt leading and tracking set at zero.
Oxygen bold sub-head uses 15pt text size, 17pt leading and tracking set at 40.

INTRODUCTION
Community paralegals are dedicated to legal empowerment: they help people to understand, use, and shape the law. These advocates are called different names in different places –including «communitylegal worker,» «barefoot lawyer, “grassroots legal advocate,”or a host of other titles. They are trained in law and policy and in skills like mediation, organizing, and advocacy. Some are generalist –they engagewhatever justice issues community members bring to them. Others specialize –they may focus on supporting survivors of sexual violence, or protecting community land rights, or in addressing failures in the delivery of public services.
Community paralegals are client-facing. Although they are called“community paralegals,” they are not the kind of paralegalswho primarily serve as lawyers› assistants. Community paralegalswork with clients to seek concrete solutions to instances of injustice, often at thecommunity or administrative levels. They form a dynamic, creative frontline that can engage formal and traditional institutions alike. Moreover, just as primary health workers are connected to doctors, community paralegalsare often connected to lawyers who may help to pursue litigation or high-level advocacy if frontline methods fail.

II. BACKGROUND: A LEGAL EMPOWERMENT APPROACH TO COMMUNITY LAND PROTECTION
For the past decade, Namati and its local partner organizations have co-designed, through iterative learning and experimentation, an innovative legal empowerment approach to community land protection. The overall goal of Namati’s approach is not only to support communities to document and protect their land rights, but to empower community members to:
• Create and adopt strong community by-laws that hold leaders accountable and ensure good governance of lands and natural resources;
• Strengthen land rights protections for women and other vulnerable groups;
• Sustainably use and manage their natural resources and regenerate the local ecosystem; and
• Negotiate with potential investors seeking land from a position of legal empowerment and knowledge.
From 2009 until 2016, Namati worked very closely with three partner organizations: the Land and Equity Movement in Uganda (LEMU), Centro Terra Viva (CTV) in Mozambique; and the Sustainable Development Institute (SDI) in Liberia. The fieldwork was carried out in Lira,
Oyam and Apac Districts in Northern Uganda, in Inhambane Province in Mozambique, and in Rivercess County in Liberia. During this time, Namati, SDI, CTV and LEMU together developed an integrated community land protection process by: gathering and analyzing data on impacts, confronting challenges and innovating solutions, and, most importantly, by listening to communities’ of these villages have direct ownership rights, while others have permanent or seasonal use and access rights. experiences, needs and desires.10 The resulting process took roughly 18 months and included five general steps (adapted to align with each country’s laws and policies). These are:
1. Laying The Groundwork
The “Laying the Groundwork” activities were designed to create structures for inclusive community participation throughout the land protection process; raise awareness of the importance of protecting community lands; and motivate community members’ participation. From 20112016, this process included:
• Community definition. Facilitators consulted with relevant government officials, customary leaders, and community members, together balancing various
