Land management in the rural community of Fissel Mbadane

Land management in the rural community of Fissel Mbadane is part of a heterogeneous system because it involves principles that originate in customs and traditions on the one hand and rules derived from the legal and regulatory framework on the other. This heterogeneity of rules is said to be the cause of recurrent conflicts between land actors. This situation has led to the establishment of a conflict prevention, management and resolution mechanism through the commission of wise men and other mediation bodies. In short, land management in this rural community is at a crossroads between traditional and modern rules. This has led to the establishment of mechanisms for the prevention, management and resolution of land conflicts through traditional, local, administrative and sometimes judicial bodies.
