Strategies to modernize the land registration system in Kenya

Het landregistratiesysteem in Kenya is in 1897 tot stand gekomen om de land registratie van de blanke kolonisten te ondersteunen die in de 19e eeuw in het land kwamen. De laatste honderd jaar dat het system heeft bestaan is het grotendeels hetzelfde gebleven; de registers worden in papierformaat bewaard en de meerderheid van de processen worden handmatig uitgevoerd. Het ontbreken van een modern registratie system heeft aan de problemen van de land administratie in het land bijgedragen. De overheid heeft de noodzaak tot modernisering van het landregistratiesysteem aangegeven ter verbetering van de ondersteuning van de land administratie, ter ondersteuning van de ontwikkeling van een geïntegreerd landinformatie managementsysteem en van een nationaal ruimtelijke data infrastructuur. Echter, het hardnekkige probleem bij deze inspanningen is het gebrek aan strategiën voor een dergelijke modernizering. Deze studie draagt daarom bij aan de oplossing voor deze problemen door de volgende doelstellingen: evaluatie van het huidige landregistratiesysteem in Kenya, identificatie en analyse van zijn sterkten en zwakheden, ontwikkeling van strategieën voor de modernisering van het Keniaanse systeem en de ontwikkeling van een concept voor een modern landregistratiesysteem

Performing Sustainability in West Africa

This book discusses the role of cultural practices and policy for sustainable development in West Africa across different artistic disciplines, including performance, video, theatre, community arts and cultural heritage. Based on ethnographic field research in local communities, the book presents findings on current debates of cultural sustainability in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Benin. It provides a unique perspective connecting cultural studies, conflict studies and practical peacebuilding approaches through the arts. The first part pays particular attention to aspects of social cohesion and the circumstances of internally displaced persons e. g. caused by the Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast Nigeria. The second part focuses on cultural policy issues and challenges in the context of sustainable development, investigating participatory approaches and bottom-up processes, the role of governments and civil society, as well as performing arts organizations and universities in policy making and implementation processes. Performing Sustainability in West Africa presents research results and new methods on the role of artistic and cultural practices in conflict situations as well as current debates in cultural policy for researchers, academics, NGOs and students in cultural studies, sustainable development studies and African studies
