land tenure
Agriculture is the backbone of the Kenyan economy contributing 26% to GDP and 70% to
employment. Majority of the farmers in Kenya are smallholder farmers possessing less than 3
acres of land. The agricultural sector in Kenya has been facing several challenges among them
declining yields. While the decline in yields could be associated with several other factors, it
could also be as a result of the effect of insecure land tenure systems which are little understood.
This study examines the technical efficiency of alternative land tenure systems among

Analyzing nutritional impacts of policies

Reports & Research

property
Widespread malnutrition in developing countries calls for appropriate strategies, presupposing good knowledge about nutritional impacts of policies. Little previous work has been carried out in this direction, especially with respect to micronutrients. We use representative household data from Malawi and develop a demand systems approach to estimate income and price elasticities of food demand and nutrient consumption. These estimates are applied for policy simulations.

There is today a growing awareness of the importance of providing rural populations with more secure tenure to land and other natural resources, not least in Africa where approximately 90 percent of all land is still unregistered. At the same time there has been a rethinking of approaches for securing local tenure rights in practice. Experience has shown that the conventional approach, i.e., individual freehold titling, has often not worked well in areas where communal forms of customary tenure predominate, which is still the case in most parts of rural sub-Saharan Africa.

This paper is one of three thematic case studies resulting from a set of pilot projects undertaken jointly by civil society and private business partners from 2016–2019 in five countries in sub-Saharan Africa. These pilots sought to test how private companies could collaborate with civil society organisations and other stakeholders to implement responsible agribusiness investments that recognise and respect community land rights, and to develop innovative tools and approaches that could be adopted and implemented at greater scale.
