Opportunities and Challenges for Communities
Artículos de revistas y librosPublicación revisada por paresEnero, 2018KenyaKenya is the most recent African state to acknowledge customary tenure as producing lawful property rights, not merely rights of occupation and use on government or public lands.

Analysis is prefaced with substantial background on legal trends continentally, but the focus is on Kenya’s Community Land Act, 2016, as the framework through which customary holdings are to be identified and registered.
