Also available in:
No results found.This paper focuses on legal and institutional aspects of children’s property and inheritance rights in Southern and East Africa. Chapter 2 discusses violations of children’s property and inheritance rights and discusses how the spread of HIV/AIDS has contributed to the violations. Chapter 3 assesses several norms of customary law that aim to protect children’s property and inheritance rights as well as the current practices of customary law that—in the context of the HIV/AIDS pandemic—serve to c omplicate and limit children’s ability to maintain their rights. Chapter 4 reviews and assesses a selection of international laws and national laws from the countries in the region that influence children’s property and inheritance rights, emphasizing succession and land laws. Several gaps in national legislation and policy that need to be addressed are identified. -
Book (stand-alone)Land and Property Rights
Junior Farmer Field and Life School, facilitators guide
2010Also available in:
No results found.In rural areas, land is the basis for agricultural production and the source for securing natural resources through fishing, hunting, pasturing or other activities. Land is used by many people for different purposes (e.g. for agricultural production, housing, industry, services and government). Land also has social, cultural and political functions related to each country’s history. Because land is used for so many purposes, land and property rights have broad impact on people’s lives and livelihoods. These rights refer to the rules that specify who can do what with which resources and assets, for how long and under what conditions. Collecting plants in a forest, cultivating a plot of land, getting the produce harvested, accessing and extracting natural resources and deciding who should or should not be allowed to collect plants or cultivate a plot of land are all expressions of the exercise of property rights. -
