abstract: 'East African pastoralists have well-developed systems of communal land
management that have been challenged by recent demands from some
pastoralists for land privatization. This article analyses the impact on
household well-being of privatizing land among a community of Samburu
pastoralists in northern Kenya. Using longitudinal data from household
surveys conducted in 2000 and 2005, trends in wealth, income,
stratification and livelihood strategies are analysed comparing the
privatized community and a community where land remains communally
managed. Results indicate few significant differences in wealth and
income between the privatized and communal areas, although cultivation
has become an important additional strategy in the privatized community.
Significant levels of wealth stratification are present in both
communities but are mitigated to some extent by mobility across wealth
quintiles over time. Wealthy and poor groups exhibit different
livelihood strategies with wealthier groups relying more on livestock
trade and home consumption while poorer groups depend on wage labour and
trade for their income. Policy implications of this analysis include the
need for development strategies specific to different wealth groups,
greater investment in education and infrastructure, and more attention
to employment creation in pastoral areas.'
