Land governance needs input from all stakeholders

Community land makes up about two thirds of Kenya’s total land mass. Protecting and safeguarding community land upon which (pastoralist) communities derive their livelihoods is key in ensuring their socio-economic development.

This is especially so as we are in a period in our nation’s journey of economic growth characterised by land-intensive development projects being implemented by government and the private sector alike. It is crucial to ensure those ceding ground to pave way for the developments fully understand the tenets that guide management of their land, and are not deprived as a result of their lack of knowledge.
