Pastoral land rights in Tanzania

The paper “Pastoral land rights in Tanzania: a review” (1992, 24pp) by Ringo Tenga, published in the Pastoral Land Tenure Series of the Drylands Programme of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), gives an overview of the status of pastoral land rights in Tanzania. It draws on statutory materials and existing case law to construct a legal position that is applicable to pastoral land rights in this country. It looks at the changing aspects of customary land rights and the implications of official policy for pastoralism. Pastoral land rights are described as “a grey area of the law” in Tanzania.
