Collective Land Rights Reconsidered: Institutional Innovations From Tanzania
Formalisation of land is a strategy advocated by local and international NGOs for pastoralists and hunter-gatherers whose livelihoods depend on mobility and access to traditional territories with seasonal resources. As ever more land is sequestered into fortress conservation, as more underground mineral deposits are identified and as large-scale agriculture expands, even semi-arid landscapes are attracting a wide range of actors. In this article …
The World Bank and Rural Land Titling in Africa: The Case of Tanzania
In 2021, the World Bank, in association with the Tanzanian Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development, added yet another chapter to the long and contentious history of land tenure reform in Tanzania. It approved US$ 150 million for the second phase of a village-wide individual titling pilot programme that employs new technologies for surveying under the rubric of a private sector competitiveness project. This article assesses th…
Deeds and Misdeeds
Stories of land and gender struggles from the uplands of Tanzania, where the CCM government is bent on pushing through a land-titling programme, backed by the World Bank and Hernando de Soto, with the promise of women’s empowerment
Between dependence and deprivation: The interlocking nature of land alienation in Tanzania
Studies of accumulation by dispossession in the Global South tend to focus on individual sectors, for example, large-scale agriculture or nature conservation. Yet smallholder farmers and pastoralists are affected by multiple processes of land alienation. Drawing on the case of Tanzania, we illustrate the analytical purchase of a comprehensive examination of dynamics of land alienation across multiple sectors. To begin with, processes of land alie…
The Formal Divide: Customary Rights and the Allocation of Credit to Agriculture in Tanzania
It is generally held that one mechanism to enable inclusive growth in Tanzania is enabling farmers to access credit to raise productivity and incomes. The formalisation of property rights in Tanzania is being undertaken by a multiplicity of actors at great expense to donors, individuals and the government. While there have been a variety of different justifications for allocating Certificates of Customary Rights of Occupancy (CCROs) to farmers in…
Of Land and Legitimacy: A Tale of Two Lawsuits
Through a comparative analysis of two recent Tanzanian lawsuits concerning pastoralist-farmer disputes over land, this article argues that the judicial system is being employed as a vehicle for legitimizing dispossession. Wealthy elites who find their efforts to acquire vast tracts of land thwarted by protective mechanisms in the Land Act No. 4 of 1999 and Village Land Act No. 5 of 1999 are turning to the courts to get what they want. Having acce…
