Collective tenure of pastoral land in Sudan: evidence from North Kordofan

Explores the significance of pastoralism in Sudan, formal tenure systems and their governance, and tribal systems.

Abstract

Pastoralists in Sudan face insecurity of land tenure. Land acquisition has triggered regional conflict and injustice. Pastoralists also grapple with pervasive insecurity from diverse conflicts; blocked or disappearing livestock routes; inadequate access to water; poorly designed routes and degradation of resting places. These problems severely restrict the spatial and temporal mobility of livestock.

In this report, the authors explore the significance of pastoralism in Sudan, formal tenure systems and their governance, and tribal systems.

This work is part of the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC) Programme.
