Women in most rural communities in Africa dominate farm activities in terms of labour
supply and management. Overall, Africa's performance in terms of agricultural
production and productivity remain inadequate and the region has failed to make progress
in food security (Republic of Kenya, 2002). Therefore, successful agricultural reform
programs will require raising women's productivity. The current study examines the
existence of real evidence that women's limited access to land constitute a significant -

Land is a critical resource in Kenya, having economic, social, political,
environmental and cultural significance. Kenya’s population continues to rely
on land for both subsistence and economic activities. In fact, the increase
of the population from about 20 million people in the 1960s to about 40
million currently, has put enormous pressure on land. Only a third of Kenya’s
land is arable while the rest is arid and semi-arid. With most Kenyans still
living off the land, contestations over access to, control over and ownership -

Survey of Kenya is the country's institution charged with the
responsibility of collecting, checking, storing and disseminating Land
parcel related records.
Of late efforts have been made to digitize these records and form a
database. However the majority of the records are in paper form.
Dissemination of this data, done through a search, is still manual. The
public fill a search form and pay a small fee, and the records are
reproduced to them in form of a filled and dully signed form or map or -

The urban rural duality in the land administration policy in Kenya tends to create two land use development control models and, further, such policy results in two separate land transaction costs. In a situation where land values in the two locations may not vary significantly, such a variation in land transaction costs would lead to land speculation in the less costly zone. It is postulated in this paper that there would be no significant variations inland sale value/ land purchase price in the areas of Eastlands within the

Pastoral households are increasingly practising fodder production in response to forage scarcity associated with land degradation, climate variability and change. Understanding the grass seed value chain is a prerequisite for developing sustainable fodder production and guiding appropriate out-scaling in the drylands. This study investigated the producers’ perspectives on grass seed production, marketing and challenges faced along the grass seed value chain in Marigat Sub-County of Baringo County, Kenya.

Housing occupies an important position in the Kenyan psyche along with the concept of home ownership. The residential developments and investments attract both institutional, corporate organisations as well as private individuals. There are indications that the residential market in Nairobi is very active and that most of the valuation firms in Nairobi cany out market-based valuation of residential properties.

Urban Sprawl is the spreading out of a city and its suburbs over more and more rural land at the periphery of an urban area. This involves the conversion of rural land into built up, developed land over time. Sprawl is characterised by one or more existing patterns of development. Those most frequently mentioned are low-density, leapfrogging, distance to central facilities, dispersion of employment and residential development, and continuous strip development.

The elements of Land Administration in Kenya are very fragmented and independently operated
within the Ministry of Lands. During institutional reform there is opportunity to provide a much
more integrated Land Administration service to the citizens, especially at the district level
through the formation of ‘one-stop-shops’, through the integration and rationalization of the
existing land administration and land rights delivery systems.
