The primary contact at the NLC was Dr. Fibian Lukalo, whose research at the NLC focuses on key thematic areas of land reform, land, secure land tenure, the political economy of land and improved land rights, and the ways in which these work out at the county, community, and county levels.
Improved governance of tenure is essential for secure land tenure rights for women, food security, poverty eradication, equitable access and ownership of land and for contributing to a foundation for responsible investment and environmental sustainability in land. Understanding these dynamics in Settlement Schemes throughout Kenya (based on principles of land management, Constitution 2010) is crucial for re-envisioning a land sector that works equitably and sustainably for all Kenyans.
