“…From the academic perspective, with the creation of the framework, we operationalised the seven FFP elements within five key governance dimensions. The introduction of these dimensions aligns our framework with other relevant governance literature (Alemie et al, 2015;Bevir, 2009;Deininger et al, 2010;Edelenbos and Van Meerkerk, 2016;Goodwin and Painter, 1996;Hirst, 2000;Jessop, 1997;Klijn, 2008;Kooiman, 1993;Osborne, 2010;Rhodes, 1996;Saito, 2008;Van Kersbergen and Van Waarden, 2004). From practical perspective, the FGAF helps to identify the challenges of the governance context when implementing a new technology and it provides recommendations for interventions to increase the governance context support.…”

“…The central government is divided into four provinces, 30 districts, which are subdivided into 416 sectors and then in 2146 cells. Within these cells, there are 14,876 villages which are the smallest unit (Deininger et al, 2010;Ngoga et al, 2017). The district land offices are supported by both land managers at the sector level and cell land committees that operate at the lower administrative level (Ngoga et al, 2017).…”

“…Different authors have proposed various formulations but typically mention management (the right to regulate use and to transform the resource), exclusion (the right to determine who has use rights), and alienation (the right to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of other rights) among these second-order rights. Different individuals, communities, or institutions may each hold different bundles of rights over the same space (Sikor et al 2017;Deininger et al 2010). Conceiving property rights in terms of overlapping layers of diverse bundles can help avoid the misleading oversimplification of the big four typology and enables a more nuanced analysis of the complexities and variations in how property regimes can be arranged (von Benda-Beckmann et al 2006).…”

“…The big four typology implies that land should either be under private tenure, state tenure, or communal tenure and that for communal tenure, each community parcel or territory should have a clear, community holder of those rights-an owner. In many customary systems, however, because rights are layered in different bundles, no single rights-holder can legitimately claim to be the full owner of a land parcel (Deininger et al 2010).…”

Can formalisation of pastoral land tenure overcome its paradoxes? Reflections from East Africa

Legal frameworks for communal land rights in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania are now gaining momentum. Questions can be raised as to whether, how, and to what extent these frameworks take into account the disadvantages of formalising tenure and the complexities of pastoral resources. In this paper, we consider the impact of these challenges on the formalisation of communal ownership, beginning with an overview of how commons theory has influenced land governance policies and how it is applied to pastoral systems. We identify the main challenges that land policy interventions in East Africa face and ways in which the conceptual models of shared property rights embodied in current land tenure regimes are not well adapted to the socio-ecological characteristics of some rangeland landscapes. We argue that policy interventions capable of overcoming the paradox of pastoral tenure and strengthening tenure security while addressing herders’ needs for mobility and flexibility will often involve the progressive recognition of layers of sometimes overlapping rights, rather than attempts to subdivide landscapes into simple mosaics of discrete communal territories. This paper is based on an analysis of the legal frameworks for land tenure in the three countries and a review of the literature on pastoralism and land governance in the region.

The world's forests are a major source of material and fuel, a vast reservoir of biodiversity and they also provide valuable ecological services such as hydrological cycling and carbon sequestration. They play an important role in carbon accounting schemes under the Kyoto Protocol and the UN Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). As such, the impacts of global deforestation are of critical social, ecological and political significance. The primary causes of deforestation are well understood and will likely be exacerbated as new demands for forest products develop. Innovative governance arrangements, such as third party certification schemes and co‐management, have increasingly sought a role in alleviating deforestation alongside governmental forest policy‐making. Continued decreases in deforestation rates will depend on changes in how forests are valued and managed through multi‐level governance arrangements. Key Concepts: Energy production account for more than 50% of all wood uses. There is concern that woodfuel use is one of the drivers of deforestation, but it is often difficult with available statistics to understand just how important this driver is. Deforestation is mainly caused by economic forces, governance failures and politico‐ethical failures. Given the rapid global loss of biodiversity, mainly due to deforestation in tropical areas, primary and selectively logged forests are of critical importance in tropical forest conservation. Forest carbon sequestration is explicitly allowed in the Kyoto Protocol as a tool to meet emission reduction targets. Without stricter governance oversight, carbon emissions mitigation initiatives such as the UN Programme on REDD can enable the usurpation of land and resource rights from indigenous communities in developing countries. Decreasing the rate of deforestation requires the participation not just of governments but of local communities, indigenous peoples and citizens for decision‐making and monitoring in forest policy and management.
