USAID Program Brief: Land Tenure and Property Rights Kenya SECURE Project

The USAID-funded Securing Rights to Land and Natural Resources for Biodiversity and Livelihoods in the Kiguna, Boni and Dodori Reserves and Surrounding Areas Project (SECURE Project) works with the Ministry of Lands in Kenya’s north coast region of Lamu to help implement the new NLP. The Lamu environs are recognized as international hotspots for biodiversity and the home to three national reserves that incorporate 2,500 kms² of coastal forest, mangrove, estuarine, and marine ecosystems hosting numerous vulnerable and endangered species. Lands in this region have long been categorized as government lands, but local communities manage them under customary land tenure arrangements. (April 2011)
