Impact Evaluation of the Feed the Future Tanzania Land Tenure Assistance Activity 2017-2020

Description

This impact evaluation examined USAID’s Land Tenure Assistance (LTA) activity, which was implemented in Iringa District, Tanzania from 2015 to 2019. LTA assisted in land use planning and delivering formalized documentation of customary rights to village residents, known as Certificates of Customary Rights of Occupancy (CCROs), through the use of the Mobile Application to Secure Tenure application. The evaluation randomized treatment assignment across 60 villages, with half receiving LTA’s activities. The five evaluation questions cover the following household outcomes: documentation and tenure security, land disputes, land use and investment, empowerment, and economic well-being. The evaluation team conducted data collection via a panel survey of 1,361 households over three stages (two baseline phases, an interim midline phase for a subset of households, and an endline phase). The evaluation found that within three years of CCRO receipt, LTA had a large and significant positive impact on household tenure security and documentation of land rights, reduced the likelihood of current and future land disputes, and had a smaller positive impact on use of communal land. LTA did not appear to impact the likelihood of fallowing, crop diversification, household land investments, access to credit, or other indicators of household economic well-being during that timeframe.

21 This dataset is for the final round of the Feed the Future Tanzania Land Tenure Assistance (LTA) activity impact evaluation that the Office of Land and Urban in the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) Bureau for Economic Growth, Education, and Environment commissioned. The evaluation incorporates a randomized controlled trial design to rigorously test how mobile mapping and facilitation of land tenure certification affect income, women’s empowerment, dispute prevalence, and other factors related to land use and tenure security in Iringa District, Tanzania. This associated file contains household characteristics and outcome variables. Data for this evaluation were collected in two phases to account for the implementation schedule. This file only contains endline data for all households in the study, both Phase I and Phase 2, and is needed to estimate final impacts. Data collection took place in Iringa District in 2020. https://data.usaid.gov/d/p7t9-3qt5
