In spite of the impressive results of the ecological rehabilitation and improvements of productivity, many communities have had bad experiences with AEs in the past due to uncertainty and the lack of clarity of land tenure and public land use policy in the country. Due to these uncertainties, the communities did not have decision making power in the management and utilization of the resources. In addition, they could not use grass and wood produced in the AEs. This adversely affected the sense of ownership and community commitment for effective protection and sustainable management of the resources. This problem is still not adequately addressed and the communities are uncertain about the future of land tenure and land use policy. This has restricted them in making decisions that are important for the sustainability of the AEs and resources within. In an attempt to remedy this situation, the Drylands Coordination Group (DCG) commissioned this study to develop guidelines to support the government in developing management plans with a clear land tenure and land use policy for the sustainable management of AEs.
