Democratizing Eminent Domain in East Africa
This World Resources Institute report examines the legal and practical application of eminent domain for the establishment of protected areas (PAs) in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. It argues that the lack of democratic procedures in land acquisition leads to legal challenges, social conflict, and the eventual degazettement of parks. The authors recommend democratizing the exercise of eminent domain through transparency, public participation, and fair compensation to ensure that protected areas are both legally secure and locally legitimate.
