BACKGROUND
The Land Rights Research & Resources Institute was founded in 1994 and
registered as a non-governmental not-for profit company limited
by guarantee under the Companies Ordinance, Chapter 212
of the laws of Tanzania.
The Institute was established out of the need
to generate and sustain a public debate and participation, particularly
where it matters in villages on issues of land tenure.
It is the institute’s
belief that such debate will be better informed if.
There is a recognition of indigenous systems of land tenure knowledge
and experiences, a will and capacity to research into these and thus generate
more systematic knowledge of the same; and an institutional arrangement
independent of the state system to generalize local knowledge and experiences
horizontally between and among village committees thereby producing a
corpus of a truly national system of knowledge on land relations.
