    Madagascar
    • Plus de 60 % de la superficie de Madagascar est classée comme pâturage permanent et l’élevage communautaire est pratiqué sur de vastes espaces par des collectifs d’éleveurs.
    • Pourtant, les terrains de pâturage extensifs, que les éleveurs appellent kijana, existent dans un vide juridique : légalement, ils ne sont ni terres de propriétés non titrées, ni terres à statuts spécifiques.
    • Le kijana est un ensemble multifonctionnel de plusieurs types d’unités d’occupation du sol qui assurent des services diversifiés pour les troupeaux et pour les éleveurs.

    Sudan, Eastern Africa

    On a global scale, Sudan perhaps ranks first in terms of pastoralists population size. About
    66 per cent of Sudan is arid land, which is mainly pastoralists’ habitat. Pastoralism in the
    Sudan involves about 20 per cent of the population and accounts for almost 40 per cent of
    livestock wealth [Markakis, 1998: 41]. The livestock sector plays an important role in the

    Ethiopia, Norway

    Land is an essential factor of production for agriculture, horticulture, forestry as well as other land related activities. Institutions that govern its use determine the sustainability and efficient use of this essential resource. In Ethiopia all land is publicly owned. Such an institutional setting has resulted in major degradation of Ethiopia’s land resources and dissipation of the resource rent, as available forest and grazing lands are exploited in a suboptimal fashion.

Qualitative data for the study was collected through gender disaggregated group discussions in two districts, Mvomero and Kongwa in Tanzania.
