Eliza Land conflict-Ulanga Farmers and pastoralists conflicts Actors in land conflict Impact of land conflict Government effort-reducing conflicts A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Master’s Degree on Public Administration of Mzumbe University This dissertation focused on assessing the Impact of Land Conflict between Farmers and Pastoralists in Ulanga District Council. It was premised on five specific objectives which are to: identify cases of land conflicts, determine causes of land conflicts, identify the main actors in land conflicts between farmers and pastoralists, assess the impact of land conflicts between farmers and pastoralists; identify the efforts done so far in reducing land conflicts. Sample size was 80 and was obtained through purposive technique. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentary review. Data was analysed by using documentation method. The findings were presented in the form of detailed discussions and some tables. Results from the field showed that land conflicts are divided into five different cases which are conflicts between: hunting blocks and villages; village boundaries; farmers and pastoralists; pastoralists and forest reserve authority; both farmers and pastoralists and game controlled authority. Causes of conflicts revealed were: too much immigration of pastoralists from various regions to Kilombero valley; unawareness of village’s boundaries; corruption; increased rate of conservation game and investors. The actors in land conflicts were: pastoralists; farmers; investors; ward and village leaders; politicians; Local and Central Government Authority and the Government. The impacts were: decline of peace to villagers; decrease in food production; deaths and injuries to people and also increase in Council’s expenditure on conflict resolution. Efforts done in reducing land conflict in the council were: conducting patrols; inviting projects from donors in land use plans and reconciliation meetings. The study concludes that, land conflicts bring no good but fear to people, decrease of food production; deaths and injuries to people and increase unnecessarily expenditure. The study recommends for: amendments in land laws; immigrants’ control; educating people on land laws; providing counseling to the victims of land conflict and reviewing village demarcations.
