This document summarizes a study on the formalization of village land rights in Tanzania and its implications for equity. The study examined two districts - Mbozi and Handeni - where pilots of land formalization had taken place. The results showed that while women and men participated equally in the adjudication process, the formalization did not adequately address existing land inequalities. Weak village land tenure institutions failed to control land ceilings and led to sporadic and unequal land registration. The conclusions determined that the approach and weaknesses of formalization limited its ability to promote equitable land distribution and access. Recommendations included conducting land needs assessments, strengthening village land institutions, revising the formalization approach, and expanding it to other land tenure

Village Land Rights Formalization and Equity Implications in Tanzania: Evidence from Mbozi and Handeni Districts By: Alphonce Yustin Tiba(PhD) Lecturer: Property Studies
Presentation Outline 1. Background Information 2. Statement of Problem 3. Research Objectives 4. Materials and Methods 5. Results and Discussion 6. Conclusions and Recommendations Friday, 23 October 2015 2
Background Information Village Land Rights Formalization has a long story in Africa It aimed at individualization of rights from community tenure-customary rules control; Tanzania experience inequity and inequality in land distribution - a big issue 1995 a Land Policy in Tanzania with principle of promoting equitable distribution of/access to land to citizens in TZ(gender access), Village Land Act No.5 1999 to enforce land policy principles formalization starts This study aimed at exploring and determining the extent to which formalization of rural land rights was equitable in distributing land to beneficiaries in Mbozi and Handeni Districts in Tanzania.

Background Information, contd Government through Ministry of Lands starts formalization as a pilot in Mbozi Pilot in 2004; Property and Business Formalization Programme in the President Office start a pilot in Handeni District in 2006; Did these interventions promote equitable distribution of land/access in these study areas - Mbozi and Handeni Districts?... Friday, 23 October 2015 4
Materials and Methods Data from 304(34%) of 901 beneficiaries of formalization from 7 and 2 villages in Mbozi and Handeni Districts respectively. Data are from 2005-2012 for mbozi while for Handeni they are 2006 when the pilot ended. Descriptive and explanatory research design adopted Case studies selected purposefully. Data collected through interview and questionnaire self administered with beneficiaries and key informants Creation of a database with IBM-SPSS.22 Non-parametric methods used to assess relationships between variables using IBM- SPSS version 22 Friday, 23 October 2015 5

Results Friday, 23 October 2015 8
Results Investigation of democratic participation by social groups in and the mechanism used for land rights formalization at the village level. Involvement in adjudication 276(90.8%) Both case similar with a delta of 11.4% - associated; Sexual participation: female YES 37(92.5%); male YES 230(90.6%) VLTIs weak in land distribution- failure to control land ceilings Mechanism: systematic and sporadic at boundary identification but sporadic at registration of land rights Friday, 23 October 2015 9
Findings Factors and actors that contributed to the success, problems and or failure of the equitable land distribution of and access. Factors are unregulated Customs and Traditions pastoralists were affected by term customary- in Mbozi, wanamwanga were said to be exploitative. Inheritance determined ownership Sporadic registration left many rights unregistered Land tenure institutions structure such as Village assembly were weak Friday, 23 October 2015 10
Conclusions and Recommendations Formalization did not address existing inequalities in land distribution and access to Tanzanian(mainland) citizens as it relied on claims of existing land rights Women had their names included in the titles with their husbands Inequity in distribution is due to the weakness of VLTIs and approach of formalization optional ties in titling. Formalization was limited to one tenure only Recommendations Friday, 23 October 2015 11
Recommendations Ministries for Lands, Agriculture and PMO RALG should conduct land needs assessments study at household and village levels; They should review the roles of the VLTIs in village land administration by defining answerable and accountable officers at this level as is the case at national and district levels; Revise approach of formalization from rights claims to application and allocation of land. Expand formalization to other categories of land tenure- Enermark, et al. (2014) call this fit for purpose approach Friday, 23 October 2015 12
