Pastoralism under threat by SAGCOT in Tanzania

CELEP member Terra Nuova (Italy) combined forces with the CELEP core group and the campaign Hands on the Land for Food Sovereignty to bring out the policy brief “Pastoralism under threat: human rights violations in the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania” (2017, 12pp). This brief addresses the livelihood implications of global trends in agricultural development, with specific focus on the case of the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT). It makes recommendations for governments participating in the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition and for the European Union so that the rights of pastoralists and other local people are respected and protected.
