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.'
