Appendix 3 – Recommendations
The following are the recommendations that were presented to the report-backworkshops on 24 and 25 April, 2003, and which were also part of the Final Report. (The sequence and grouping have been changed.)
Legislative measures
1. Legislation should be enacted which protects the rights of occupancy of beneficialoccupiers, to be defined in such a way as to include those residing on informalsubdivisions within rural homesteads, and in particular wives and children living intheir marital homesteads, but excluding renters and sharecroppers.
2. Legislation should be enacted which ensures that wives have automatic inheritancerights over land left by their husbands. Consideration should also be given tolegislation which requires newly issued titles to be joint titles naming both spouses,or, more ambitiously, converts existing titles to joint titles or even family title.
3. The rights of lessees and lessors should be protected and their costs and risksreduced by developing standard forms for rental transactions under the authority ofnew land legislation. Such agreements could be registered with the local DistrictOfficer or Land Control Board for recording purposes.
4. In conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture, examine the possibility of amendingthe Coffee Act such that it no longer impedes farmers from changing land use out ofcoffee.
Land administration
5. There should be a review of fees and administrative procedures according to whichland is transferred, a policy instituted so that fees are fixed and posted publicly, andan examination of means to lower survey costs. In addition, land information shouldbe made more readily available, in part by closing the geographical gap between thepublic and their records.
6. Land Control Boards should be retained but improved, following a review todetermine how they should better be structured and made accountable. The criteriaaccording to which Land Control Boards decide on applications should be reviewedto ensure they are appropriate, and applied nationally.
7. Formal land dispute resolution institutions need an overhaul to make them moreaccessible and rapid in their handling of cases. This should include consideration ofintroducing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Emphasis on disputeresolution at local level should be retained, with measures put in place to promotemore transparency and accountability.
8. Procedures and guidelines should be established to improve the accountability ofguardians of under-age orphans who also serve as land administrators. Theseprocedures could involve local leaders and/or decentralised offices of the PublicTrustee, who would both approve a person’s status as guardian/administrator, andmonitor that person’s performance in those roles. Grandparents caring for their
169©HSRC 2004
The Impact of HIV/AIDS on Land Rights
orphaned grandchildren on the grandparents’ own land should be excluded fromthese procedures.
Consciousness raising
9. A public information campaign should be designed and launched which focuses onland policies and land rights, so as to remove harmful misconceptions and topromote awareness among people as to their land rights and avenues of recourse.
10. Dispute resolution practices at local level need to be supported through a publicinformation campaign which conveys basic information about the importance ofprotecting the land rights of vulnerable individuals and households, including AIDS-affected households and widows in particular. This implies the necessity of directcontact with elders, sub-chiefs, Chiefs, and District Officers. In addition, land disputeresolution practices should be subject to continuous monitoring to ensurecompliance with gender fairness and other principles.
11. The ACU can co-ordinate a training and communications policy around HIV/AIDSand land rights, possibly in partnership with strengthened/revitalised CACCs. ThePublic Relations unit of the Ministry of Lands and Settlement should develop aproactive national communications strategy that can be rolled out into the districts.Civil society can also participate in a general process of consciousness-raising andpublic awareness around land.

Appendix 4 – Detailed tables based on in-depth interviews
Guide and key:
The tables that follow summarise the in-depth interviews. There are six tables in all, twofor each site. For each site, the first table focuses on land use and tenure issues, and thesecond table focuses on HIV/AIDS-related information, to some extent in relation to land.Both tables have a certain amount of descriptive detail about the respondent and her/hishousehold. Unlike the first table, the second table for each site only includes informationabout respondents from households known or suspected of being affected by HIV/AIDS.
Heavy horizontal lines separate respondents from different households, though in someinstances they may still be related. Light horizontal lines separate respondents of the samehousehold; where more than one member of a household is listed, some information iscommon to the household, and some is particular to the individual household members.
Specific points:• ‘HH’ = household.• ‘H/AIDS’ = HIV/AIDS.• ‘ALCOHOL/ABUSE’ = whether a member of the household abuses alcohol and/or
other abuse in household.• ‘WELFARE [SURVEY]; INCOME SOURCES’ = Welfare status (‘WORSE-OFF,’
‘AVERAGE,’ or ‘BETTER-OFF’) as reported for household in the household survey,followed by main sources of income reported in household survey.
• ‘HOME’ = where respondent lives – marital land, natal land, maternal land (whererespondent is living with mother but not on respondent’s natal land).
• Education – Since 1985 Kenya has had the ‘8-4-4 system,’ comprising eight years ofprimary school (Standards 1 through 8), four years of secondary school (Grades 1through 4) and four years for a university degree; between 1965 and 1984, a ‘7-6-4system’ obtained.
• ‘?’ = indicates uncertainty as to the accuracy of the information or that theinterpretation is somewhat speculative.
• Square brackets [...] indicate land where the respondent’s rights are not realisable. • ‘TB’ = tuberculosis.
