Changing Land Tenure Regimes: Taadoud Integrated Natural Resource Management Learning Brief 1

This brief reviews farming and pastoralist livelihood systems, with the aim of clearly highlighting their evolving and overlapping tenure regimes. It aims also to highlight the increasing pressure on resources that has contributed to strained relationships and in some cases polarization and conflict. Unless this context is well understood, the problems and challenges cannot be effectively addressed. Finally, the brief considers steps needed to take full advantage of available opportunities for building the resilience of livelihood systems.

The brief was originally published by the Feinstein International Center at Tufts University.
