We estimate the determinants of land conflicts and their impacts on input application in Kenya by using a recent survey of 899 rural households.

with natural resource conflict mitigation in the Abvei Administrative Area
Africa, Sudan, South Sudan
The Abyei Administrative Area (AAA) is a contested zone located on the central border between South Sudan and Sudan. Its status has remained unresolved since South Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011, and the governments failed to agree on the border division.

It is entrusted with overseeing demilitarisation and maintaining security in the area.
