(2025) Influencing global collective land tenure indicators: case studies from Burkina Faso, Kenya and Sudan. Technical report. London, UK: SPARC Knowledge (https://doi.org/10.61755/ZDQC5326).
This consolidates the findings of a 3-country study to understand perspectives of tenure security amongst pastoralist communities. The findings led to recommended indicators that can be used to measure perceived tenure security in global indicator frameworks such as Prindex. - Otieno K (2025) Rethinking land policy for Kenya’s pastoral communities: a path to sustainable development.
