Displaying 51 - 55 of 73The pastoralist’s parcel: towards better land tenure recognition and climate change response in Kenya’s dry lands
Conventional notions of the ‘land parcel’ have been extended: previously unrecognized tenures including customary, nomadic, or communal interests are now incorporated into the concept. Technical tools including the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) enable these new understandings to be operationalized in land administration systems. The nomadic pastoralists of Kenya’s dry land regions illustrate where these new approaches can be applied.

Non-Citizens and Land Tenure in Kenya
