Book (series)Land and water: the rights interface 2004
Also available in:
No results found.This paper is concerned with the interface between land tenure rights and water rights. Such rights relate to what are arguably the most important natural resources of the modern nation-state. Land, in the form of territory, is a pre-requisite for a state’s existence while freshwater is a pre-requisite for life. The relationship between these two resources is of equal significance. Water is necessary for most productive uses of land. In a growing number of countries with arid climates the main constraint to agricultural growth is the availability of water rather than land. To ensure sustainability, the need for an integrated approach to the use and management of these resources is increasingly recognised. -

DocumentVulnerability and Property Rights of Widows and Orphans in the Era of the HIV and AIDS Pandemic: A Case Study of Muleba and Makete Districts, Tanzania HIV/AIDS Programme, Working Paper 5 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Safeguarding property rights of vulnerable people is an important policy issue, not least in the quest for poverty reduction in poor societies. This issue has become urgent due to recent developments, including the AIDS epidemic, globalization, climate change and other similar social and natural forces. This study sets out to assess the extent to which property and inheritance rights of widows and orphans are violated or protected in the context of HIV and AIDS in two rural communities in Tanzania. The study takes into consideration two major interrelated aspects: the socio-economic system within which property rights systems are embedded and the constellations of legal pluralism which regulate property rights in Tanzania. While aiming at providing in-depth knowledge on the context and dynamics of the problem, the research goes further to explore the capacity of service providers to protect the property and inheritance rights of women and children.
