Ardhi Yetu – Supporting the land rights of small-scale farmers and pastoralists in Tanzania 


Purpose
In Tanzania, land is being commercialized and this is an increasingly contentious issue. Large chunks of land are being acquired by national and foreign investors with limited compensation to the affected local residents. 


Currently, the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) and Kilimo Kwanza (Agriculture First), two large scale investment strategies, are being championed by the government together with other key players including the donor community in Tanzania and the private sector. 


There is a growing concern over whether these investment strategies will in fact benefit the population in Tanzania. The concern is that the course of action will result in loss of local land rights, alienating the poor from the expected benefits. Questions are raised on whether the needs and interests of small-scale farmers – who are the main producers in Tanzania agriculture – and especially women farmers have been taken into consideration in the investment strategies? And what about the pastoralist populations – how will they be affected? 


To address these challenges, CARE DENMARK has initiated Ardhi Yetu, a Land Rights Programme aimed at supporting the rights of small-scale farmers and pastoralists, particularly in areas affected by commercial agriculture. 


The Ardhi Yetu Programme (AYP) aims to strengthen the capacity of national civil society in Tanzania at local and national levels to more effectively engage with key lands sector actors such as the government and the private sector – and to support and advocate for the rights of small-scale farmers and pastoralists. 


Partners/organisations
The Ardhi Yetu Programme is implemented by CARE and three national civil society organisations: Journalists Environment Association of Tanzania (JET), The Land Rights Research and Resources Institute (LARRI) and Tanzania Natural Resources Forum (TNRF). The programme will also collaborate with other relevant partners from research, civil society, private sector and government
