It builds on key findings from earlier IIED- coordinated research projects, including “Changes in Land Access, Institutions and Markets in West Africa” (CLAIMS, 2002-2005) – a four-year research project funded by the European Union, coordinated by IIED and implemented by eight African and European partners (GRET and IRD, based in France; UCL, based in Belgium; UMB in Mali; GIDIS in Ivory Coast; LARES in Benin; and UERD, now ISSP, in Burkina Faso); and “Pastoral Land Tenure and Decentralisation in Mali” (1999-2003), funded by NORAD and implemented by IIED and by a Malian NGO, GRAD. The publication of the report was funded by DFID.

  • Evolution of Customary Land Tenure & Agroforestry Management In
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics EPTD DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 31 DOES LAND TENURE INSECURITY DISCOURAGE TREE PLANTING? EVOLUTION OF CUSTOMARY LAND TENURE AND AGROFORESTRY MANAGEMENT IN SUMATRA Keijiro Otsuka, S. Suyanto, and Thomas P. Tomich Environment and Production Technology Division International Food Policy Research Institute 1200 Seventeenth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036-3006 U.S.A. December 1997 EPTD Discussion Papers contain preliminary material and research results, and are circulated prior to a full peer review in order to stimulate discussion and critical comment. It is expected that most Discussion Papers will eventually be published in some other form, and that their content may also be revised. ABSTRACT It is widely believed that land tenure insecurity under a customary tenure system leads to socially inefficient resource allocation. This article demonstrates that land tenure insecurity promotes tree planting, which is inefficient from the private point of view but could be relatively efficient from the viewpoint of the global environment. Regression analysis, based on primary data collected in Sumatra, indicates that tenure insecurity in fact leads to early tree planting. It is also found that customary land tenure institutions have been evolving towards greater tenure security responding to increasing scarcity of land. CONTENTS Page 1.
