4 Background and objectives In conjunction with the government of Tanzania (GoT), the DfID office and Embassy of Sweden in Tanzania commissioned the team to propose the design of an initial two to three year joint DFID/Embassy of Sweden programme of support for implementation of the Tanzania G8 Land Transparency Partnership (TLTP). 1.1 Context This design work builds on the work done to support the preparation of the TLTP for the G8 discussions in June 2013, which outlined a range of activities that would be carried out under the TLTP, including the establishment of a land tenure unit (LTU) to coordinate the implementation of the partnership. The design work aims to: Ensure that the TLTP covers the priority areas and activities needed to achieve the partnership s objectives, drawing on the wider debate on land tenure regularisation, particularly the role of formal titling, and the experience of existing land support programmes in Rwanda, Zanzibar, Ethiopia and Mozambique. Check that the LTU is the best way forward for implementing the TLTP and confirm its terms of reference. Identify the options for housing the LTU in the government of Tanzania s existing institutional framework. Outline the structure, staffing and financial resources required for an LTU to function adequately. 1.2 Objective This inception reportaims to lay the foundations for launching the TLTP by: Reviewing the key elements of the Tanzania G8 Land Transparency Partnership and how they relate to existing activities to support the land sector. Providing a basis for thinking about where the LTU could be housed. Proposing an outline for the business case to be produced. Laying out a workplan for producing the proposed design and business case. 1.3 Structure of the report The report begins with an overview of the TLTP and its relationship to existing activities. The next section recaps the proposed role of the LTU and presents background information on the institutions governing the land sector, highlighting which ones have the roles and mandates that are relevant to the activities proposed for the LTU. It identifies initial criteria for deciding where the LTU could most usefully be placed as well as outstanding questions that need to be discussed during the in-country mission. The final section proposes an outline for the report/business case to be produced at the end of the design work. The Annexespresent the workplan for the design work, the proposed programme of meetings to gather stakeholder opinion during the in-country mission to Tanzania and the proposed timing and focus of the fieldwork. 4

5 Overview of the Partnership Agreement and existing activities in the land sector 2.1 Objectives The stated objective of the Land Transparency Partnership is to buildtransparency of land tenure conditions and procedures, and of land governance in Tanzania. 1 More specifically, the partnership aims to: Improve transparency and benefits of large-scale land deals; Promote investment that supports economic growth, poverty reduction and environmental sustainability; Enhance security of tenure for all land holders in Tanzania, including women and other vulnerable groups; Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of land administration in Tanzania to deliver services; and Stimulate greater participation and consultation on land issues. 2.2 Activities and milestones The Partnership Agreement includes three sequenced areas of activities presented in Figure 1: Immediate enhancing transparency and benefits of large-scale land deals; Short-medium term policy and institutional development; and Longer term land tenure regularisation. These will be accompanied by two sets of cross-cutting and on-going activities focused on promoting consultation and oversight of the reforms in the land sector, and raising awareness of roles, responsibilities and procedures among central and local government officials, investors and villagers. 1 Governance is defined here as the process of making and implementing the decisions that lead to the conditions and procedures established. 5

7 2.3 Relationship to existing activities in the land sector The activities that the LTU is envisaged to carry out will build on and coordinate with existing initiatives that government agencies and development partners are currently supporting. Development partners are already working on several of the areas specified in Figure 1. However, there are no known programmes of support in areas 1.c, 1.d., 2.a., 2.b. The following section lays out a brief description of the known programmes that development partners and CSOs are carrying out in Tanzania. This list will be confirmed and added to during the country visit. 7

8 Table 1: Existing activities in areas proposed for TLTP TLTP s area of intervention Collect data relating to current and future land investments in Tanzania. (1.a) Ongoing activities 1. Transparency and benefits of large-scale land deals In 2012, the Ministry for Land launched an exercise to collect information about the amount of land allocated to large investors to present to the Parliament. The Ministry of Lands and the Tanzania Investment Centre, the World Bank plans to collect information on international land deals. National and international CSOs have, or plan to, collect information on transactions and investments in the land sector. Several CSOs and independent researchers have also compiled databases of international land acquisitions, including Locher and Sulle (2013) and the ILC s Land Observatory. Explore models for greater benefits from land deals (1.b) USAID has provided support for exploring benefit-sharing models for land investment, and results should be available in a few months time. UK, Swedish and Danish development partners funded a scoping study on the formulation of a Land for Equity policy. The World Bank is funding an exercise to update the SPILL. 2. Policy and Institutional Development Promote debate on current legislation and policy evolution (2.a) Undertake institutional mapping (2.b) Strengthen dispute resolution systems (2.c) Tanzania s parliament has a Parliamentary Permanent Committee on Land, Natural Resources and Environment. The Ministry of Lands has an existing institutional map (updated in xxxx). USAID carried out a rapid mapping exercise of existing land programmes in Tanzania in The Country Partnership Agreement between the Government of Tanzania and the G8 also mapped out existing activities. The World Bank is strengthening land and housing tribunals. Concern is forming and training land tribunals and committees in the areas it works in. 3.Regularisation of Land Tenure Surveying and Mapping (3.a.) The World Bank has funded activities on the improvement of land survey and mapping infrastructure, including the establishment of a geodetic network. It has also funded surveys of village lands in 15 districts. FINIDA is funding Land Use and Land Cover maps for forest resources (up to 2014). Concern is surveying and demarcating individual land parcels in five districts (up to 2015). Undertake strengthened Participatory Land Use Planning and accelerated titling (3.b and 3.c) The World Bank has funded the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy of Village Land across 15 districts and piloted the issuance of Certificates of Customary Rights of Occupancy (CCROs) in two districts. The EU has provided work to support titling at the grassroot and district level, including in the provision of CCROs to households (up to 2015). FINIDA has carried out capacity building on Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) and processing of village land certificates in Lindi and Mtwara (up 8

9 Tanzania to 2014). FINIDA is also funding the piloting of improved Village Land Use Planning (VLUP) in forested villagers activities up to US$26.2 million for Concern Worldwide is issuing CCROs in its projects inkasulu, Kigoma rural, Masasi, Ngara and Biharam The New Alliance makes commitments to secure certificate of land rights (granted or customary) for ensure this include demarcation of all village land in Kilombero and in the SAGCOT region; and 20% plans and issued certificates of occupancy. Establish a coordinated land registry (3.d) The World Bank is supporting the strengthening of land registration systems and computerising land re Concern Worldwide is strengthening district land registries in the areas it works in. The EU is prepared to consider further investment in land governance systems. Participation and consultation Tanzania s parliament has a Parliamentary Permanent Committee on Land, Natural Resources and Tanzania, such as HakiArdhi, have organised periodic meetings with government officials. However, t land issues. Raise awareness FINIDA is funding information campaigns by HakiArdhi in 24 villages, wards and district councils on lan Concern Worldwide is raising awareness of land laws in the villages in which it works. 9

10 Possible role and placement of a Land Tenure Unit 3.1 The role of a Land Tenure Unit A Land Tenure Unit (LTU) is proposed as the main vehicle for implementing activities in the short, medium and longer term. The Partnership Agreement envisages that the LTU will: Facilitate the collection of all data relating to current and future land investments in Tanzania, agree on information to be published and create the mechanism for maintaining this information live and making the information available to the public. Provide on-demand advice on evolving land policy in Tanzania with an immediate focus on improving transparency, increasing investor confidence and developing models for benefit sharing, ensuring that attention is paid to vulnerable groups, including women and the youth. Create a road map coordinating and building on all current and planned landrelated activities that defines the actions and institutional architecture necessary to implement current legislation on a national scale within a compressed timeframe, and confirms the resources needed to implement it. The road map will be completed by June Mobilise additional resources needed to deliver long-term activities, including for more surveying, mapping and titling. Establish a long-term and operational multi-stakeholder forum for consultation and oversight in the design and implementation of the road map and input into policy dialogue. Raise awareness of different stakeholders and groups involved in the land sector of their rights, roles and responsibilities. 3.2 Possible Institutional Placement of the LTU This section discusses the possible institutional home for an LTU, analysing in a preliminary manner where it could sit in relation to existing institutions. While this report does not present a detailed analysis of the institutional framework for the land sector (see Tenga and Kironde, 2012; Nshala et al 2013 for further detail) we provide a summary overview of the key institutions and the activities that are relevant to the areas that the LTU is expected to cover. We also propose a preliminary set of criteria to determine where the LTU would be best placed, which we will test in the stakeholder interviews during the incountry mission. Key government institutions in the land sector There are a number of institutions and officials charged with land administration and management in Tanzania, which are relevant to thinking about the LTU. The current institutional set-up involves the following people and institutions/agencies: The President, the Minister for Lands, the Commissioner for Lands, Village Councils and Village Assemblies, District and Municipal Councils, Regional and District Commissioners, agencies like RUBADA, TIC, Capital Development Authority (CDA), the National Land Use Planning Commission (NLUPC), and the National Land Advisory Council, Land Allocation Committees. Other ministries and agencies also exercise considerable roles on land management, including the Ministry of 10

11 Agriculture, the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism and more importantly, the Vice President s Office (Environment). These officials and institutions create a complex land administration and institutional arrangement in the country with potential conflict of mandates and institutional rivalries. The President is vested with all land in the country for, and on behalf of, all people and must ensure that the interests of the beneficiaries are protected and enhanced. He has powers to transfer land from different one category of land to the other. Below the President is the Minister for Lands, who is charged with policy formulation and ensuring that officials in her ministry discharge their obligations. The law vests her with powers to appoint members of the National Land Advisory Council, Land Allocation and Disposition Committees at national, regional and district levels. She has powers to make regulations on different aspects of land management and administration. She is answerable before the parliament on all issues pertaining to land management in the country. Under the Minister there is the Commissioner for Lands who is the main enforcer of the Land Act (see Figure 2 for organogram of the Ministry for Lands). The Commissioner for Lands is vested with powers to grant certificate of occupancies in the name of the President. (S)He is the one who also initiates the land title revocation process and the transfer of land from one category to the other, and determines the value that should be paid to compensate those divested of their land. The Prime Minister s Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PMO- RALG) plays a significant role on land administration and management in Tanzania. Local government authorities (urban and district councils) are under and these are vested with land management and administration in their respective areas. They are land use planning authorities and have powers to oversee village councils management of village lands. Village councils are charged with management of village lands under the supervision of the village assemblies. Village councils have powers to allocate land to villagers and non-villagers with the approval of village assemblies. They have powers to enter into joint land management agreements with other village governments over land adjoining their lands. Moreover, village councils and village assemblies are charged with promulgation of village land use plans under the provisions of the National Land Use Planning Act of These two institutions play an important role on land management in the country but they are plagued with lack of financial and human resources to adequately discharge their roles (Tenga and Kironde, 2012). The National Land Use Planning Commission (NLUPC) is another important institution charged with promulgation and enforcement of the national land use plan. It is also charged with providing assistance to other land use planning bodies (i.e., region, district authorities and village councils) to promulgate and enforce their respective plans. Land use plans are, among other things, intended to empower landholders and users to make better and more productive use of their land and promote sustainable land use practices, ensure security and equity in access to land resources, facilitate the establishment of a framework for the 11

12 prevention of land use conflicts. 2 Promulgation of land use plans is critical in ensuring that lands allocated for large-scale commercial production is in keeping with these goals. The Commission is therefore an important player but does not have sufficient resources to execute its mandate. Figure 2: Organogram of the Ministry for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development Note: approved by the President on June 3, See section 4(b)-(e) of the Land Use Planning Act No 6 of

13 The institutions focusing on land are not charged with land investment management and contract negotiations. The Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) is empowered to facilitate large-scale land investors to obtain land through a derivative title. TIC, therefore, obtains land from the Commissioner for Lands and issues a derivative title to the large-scale investor. TIC is not required to enter into agreement with the large-scale investor to ensure that he or she utilizes the land well. TIC sees its role more of facilitating the investor to obtain the land rather than ensuring that the investor delivers (Tenga and Kironde, 2012). Complementarity with the activities of the LTU Using the three areas of planned activities to be implemented and coordinated by the LTU, this section maps the institutions that work on these areas: Promoting transparency and enhancing benefits of land deals; There a number of government institutions,or key positions within those institutions,that areparticularly relevant for the activities of working to promote and enhance benefits from land deals.these include: The offices of the Minister for Land, Housing and Human Settlements Development and the Commissioner for Lands. Attached to the Ministry for Land, Housing and Human Settlements Development, the National Land Use and Planning Commission (NLUPC) is empowered by the Land Use Planning Act of 2007 to co-ordinate the various land use management activities being undertaken by lead agencies; promote the integration of land use considerations into development policies, plans, programmes and projects (S.19(2)(f)-(g)). The Prime Minister s Office Business Environment Strengthening Programme for Tanzania (BEST) aims at, among other objectives, to establish an efficient land market and accurate land market information system. It also charged with strengthening Tanzania Investment Centre s (TIC) capacity to attract new investment that would stimulate the economic growth. Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC), which TIC issues derivative titles to foreignowned or controlled companies investing on land and supports the creation of jointventures between foreign investors and nationals on land and other investments. Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT), which promotes agricultural investments in the SAGCOT corridor, promulgates the Land use plans in the area, and facilitates joint-ventures between large-scale land investors and small-scale land owners. Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA) which creates linkages between large-scale land investors and villagers or small land holders in the Rufiji River Basin, promotes agricultural development in the Basin and promotes development of land use plans in the Basin. Local Government Authorities (District and Urban Councils), which promulgate land use plans in their respective areas. Outside of the government institutions, Village Councilsare key in the process of allocating CROs, entering into economic ventures and joint land use management agreement with other villages, and reporting to the village assembly on management and administration of village land. Policy and institutional development While all government institutions are involved in policy development, some institutions and positions play a particularly central role in coordinating or facilitating such development, including: 13

14 The Minister for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development who is responsible for leading policy formulation; constituting the National Land Advisory Council; promulgating regulations on land transfers; and setting, in consultation with the Minister of Agriculture, minimum standards of land ownership for small-scale land holders. She is also empowered to establish District Land and Housing Tribunals in each district, region or zone to adjudicate land disputes. The NLUPC, which provides advice to the Minister on the management and development of land as a national asset. 3 The Commissioner for Lands, who makes recommendations to the National Land Advisory Council on revisions of the Land Act and Village Land Act; and establishes the terms and conditions of land development. Activities at central level would need to be coordinated with: Local Government Authorities, who offer advice to the Commissioner for Lands and village councils on management and administration of lands under them,and promulgate land use plans and by-laws. Village Councils, who promulgate village by-laws and establish and supervise different committees. The Prime Minister s Office Business Environment Strengthening Programme for Tanzania (BEST), which is charged with establishing an effective legal and institutional framework for land that is responsive to private sector needs. Moreover, it is required to strengthen land dispute settlement system. Land tenure regularisation There are number of government officials and institutions that deal with surveying and mapping,titling, and land registries and administration. The following play a key role: The Director of the Surveys and Mapping Directorateis vested with powers to oversee land surveys and cadastral surveys in the country. The Chief Surveyor, who must approve all changes to approved plans, assists him. The Commissioner for Lands is vested with powers to issue CROs on lands generally and the same applies to regularised areas. The Registrar of Titles is the one who registers all land titles including offers of rights of occupancies. The Registrar of Titles heads the Land Registry in the country. There are Assistant Registrars of Titles located in seven land registry zones in the country under her. Local government authorities are also empowered to register lands and create local land registries (see the Ministry of Lands Organogram in Figure 1). The NLUPC influences regularisation through land use plans. While making land use plans the NLUPC is able to recommend and initiate land use changes this ties in well with its mandates to coordinate orderly physical development at the national level and land use management activities undertaken by other lead agencies. The Prime Minister s Office Business Environment Strengthening Programme for Tanzania (BEST) is required to establish effective surveying and mapping infrastructure, formalisation of unplanned settlements and implementation of the Village Land Act. 3 See Section 19(4)(d) of the Land Use Planning Act. 14

15 3.3 Key criteria for determining the LTU s institutional placement There are several factors that will influence which institution would best house an LTU in the existing government institutional framework: Role/mandate of institution how good a fit is it with the focus of the LTU s activities? Level of influence and capacity to coordinate with other institutions. Legal status of the housing institution ability to receive funds directly and plan its activities (semi-) autonomously. These need to be discussed further during the in-country mission to see if they cover the main issues. 3.4 Outstanding questions Outstanding questions that need to be discussed during interviews with stakeholders include: LTU: where should be this placed and what form should this take? Should this be permanent or temporary? If a permanent structure, how to ensure its sustainability? What would be the legal implications of setting up an LTU? Existing activities: what other ongoing and planned activities exist that may not be captured in this report? How would they align with the proposed activities of the TLTP. A more comprehensive set of questions are listed in Table 2 in Annex 1, which presents the matrix of proposed meetings with stakeholders. 15

16 Possible scope and content of the Report and Business Case This section proposes a structure for the report to be submitted to the Government of Tanzania, which will provide the basis for drafting the Business Case for DFID and Embassy of Sweden. The guidelines to the DFID Business Case state that The design team should agree the expected depth of analysis and resource requirements of the Business Case with the approver based on the business proposition. The design team will be working closely with the DFID Tanzania representative to get guidance on this at every relevant state of the process. The indicative structure of the report is based on DfID s How-to-Note for writing a Business Case. The report produced will follow this format closely, to ensure that the analysis is closely aligned with DfiD s needs. We will also ensure that relevant sections that apply to the Government of Sweden s and Denmark s Appraisal Criteria are adequately addressed in the report. The content of the report will be provided through discussions with officials in the Ministry of Land, development partners, CSOs and other stakeholders, as identified in Annex 1, consultation of key legal and policy documents and close consultation with DfID Tanzania and SIDA. 4.1 Context and need for an intervention, expected impacts and outcome. This section will be written for the Strategic Case part of the Business case. Context This section will briefly discuss the state of Tanzania s land sector, and the priority issues that the TLTP would address. This will refer to existing problems diagnosed in the literature on Tanzania s and sector and DfID country office analysis. It will briefly lay out. Key questions to be addressed include: Why it is right for DfID to intervene? This will base its analysis on the nature and severity of the issues identified, with reference to expected outcomes for poverty and economic growth from interventions in the land sector. How does DfID s experience of working with governments and operators in the land sector in Tanzania and other countries affect its comparative advantage? How does the proposed LTU to implement the TLTP fit in with the existing institutional map of Tanzania s land administration? How will it be able to operate better than existing mechanisms and how will its effectiveness be ensured? What budgetary and strategic decisions have already been taken that affect the potential role and scope of an LTU? What further analysis and resourcing requirements will be needed to establish an effective LTU? Expected impacts and outcome This section will outline the impacts that the TLTP s activities is expected to bring about to its beneficiaries. This section will make use of the logframe and theory of change that will be developed for the programme. Key questions here include: Who are the final beneficiaries of the TLTP? 16

17 How will the TLTP contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth, by overcoming challenges in land administration in Tanzania? What moderating factors may influence the impact? What complementary factors are likely to be necessary for the TLTP s intervention to deliver change, and over what timeframe are these changes expected? 4.2 Feasible options for the intervention This section will be written for inclusion in the Appraisal Case part of the Business Case Consideration of feasible options for implementing the LTU This section will layout the different options for activities under the TLTP, and how these will be delivered. Key questions are: What is the counterfactual case, i.e. what can be expected to occur if the core activities envisaged under thetltpare not implemented, given existing government and development partner funding commitments, and the current issues facing the land sector in Tanzania? What options exist for the TLTP s scope, and the range of its activities and responsibilities? Is the LTU the best option for implementing the TLTP? Will the LTU have a short time horizon (e.g. 2 years) or will it be set up to run over a longer period (e.g. the duration of foreseen surveying and titling for the country). Which of these options are feasible? What are criteria for feasibility? What are the delivery routes for each feasible option? What capacity and capacity constraints exist for delivery through different routes? What are the expected impacts for each of the identified options, on the basis of existing evidence from other land interventions? What social and environmental risks does each carry? What will each of these options cost? What are the main cost drivers? What are the expected benefits of each option? The analysis of the costs and benefits will be decided upon with the DfID representative. What is the value from the intervention? How sensitive is the balance of costs and benefits to variations? Preferred option A theory of change for the preferred option will be provided, describing how the suggestedactivities for TLTPare expected to bring about desired changes. Key questions include: How will the TLTP s activities bring about changes in the situation that would otherwise not occur? What are the key moderating factors that may affect the success of the TLTP activities as a mechanism for change? What complementary factors are needed for changes in economic growth and poverty reduction? 4.3 Commercial considerations This section will be written for inclusion in the Commercial Case of the Business Case. 17

18 This will describe how the TLTP will be delivered, using what contracting options. Key questions will depend on the contracting route (direct procurement through a contracted supplier, or through a third party entity), to be decided with the DfID representative. 4.4 Financial considerations This section will be written for inclusion in the Financial Case of the Business Case and will provide an overview of the expected costs, including the major drivers of costs. This will draw on information from existing land support programmes in other countries. It will also summarise the Government of Tanzania s budget for Land and the funding commitments from all development partners. 4.5 Management considerations This section will be written for inclusion in the Management Case of the Business Case This section will set out how the LTU will be managed at the start-up phase and when it is up and running. It will describe how funding between the UK, Swedish, Danish and othergovernments will be arranged, and what options exist funding from the Government of Tanzania. Key questions include: Who will be responsible for running of the LTU? What roles will DfiD the Governments of Sweden and Denmark and other potential partners have in decisions taken? What risks exist for the running of the LTU and how can these be mitigated? (including Climate and Environment risks) Who will monitor the LTU, and what monitoring framework will be adopted? What indicators of success are appropriate for the LTU, and who will measure these? What is the monitoring framework? How will the LTU be evaluated? At what stage will the LTU be evaluated and against what success criteria? What evaluation design will be used? 18

23 Annex 2: Proposed itinerary for field visit, September 2013 Aim of field visit Gather information about the Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) exercise the processes involved; involvement and awareness of stakeholders; and impacts of PLUPs carried out in certain areas. Possible sites There are several sites where PLUP is being implemented by district officials with support from international organisations, including Concern International, FINNIDA and the World Bank. The three main sites that have been suggested for visits are: Mtwara/Lindi, where Concern International and FINNIDA are strengthening PLUP processes and, in some cases, supporting the issuance of CCROs. This is an area where there are reports of problems in the PLUP process, which would be worth investigating. Kilombero, where the World Bank and MLHHSD have projects undertaking VLUPs and issuing CCROs. This is based in the SAGCOT area, the target area for land acquisition and the possible land for equity scheme. Iringa,which is also based in the SAGCOT area, the target area for land acquisition and the possible land for equity scheme. Given the limited time available at this stage, it would not be possible to visit all these sites. Discussions with the Acting Director of the NLUPC and DFID Tanzania indicated that a visit to Iringa would be the most useful at this stage. The table below presents the schedule ofthe proposed field visit. Table A3: Field Visit Itinerary, September 2013 Date Time and Activity Comments Monday 23 September AM.
