INITIATIVES FOR VILLAGE LAND USE PLANNING GUIDELINES The Model Village Layout Planning Handbook (1975) MLHSD Residential part of the village. The Land Use Planning Handbook (1983)) ODA, Tb Tabora Rural Integrated Development Project for agricultural development. The Village Land Use Planning and Implementation Guidelines for Tanzania (1993) NLUPC MLHSD. Multi sectoral approach but overemphasises on plan making by experts rather than guiding villagers participation in decision making.
PARTICIPATORY VLUP GUIDELINES 1 The increasing demand to regulate the use of land resources, and the growing awareness that land use management problems are better addressed through a participatory and integrated approach, initiated Dodoma Land Use Management Project (DLUMP), in 1992. (MLHSD, DLDO, SNV Netherlands) N This project aimed at developing a methodology for participatory village land use planning and management which should better address to the needs of the rural population than the conventional top down oriented approaches. (Mzula and Ilolo villages 1992 1997)
PARTICIPATORY VLUP GUIDELINES 2 Development of Guidelines for participatory Village Land Use Planning and Management based on experiences from various land use related projects operating in different parts of the country (HIAP Handeni, HIMA Iringa, g, Agro forestry programmes Songea and Mbinga, LAMP Babati, TFAP North Pare Mwanga, MDP Monduli, TIP Lushoto, Arumeru & Mwanga, SSIPDO Mpwapwa, SECAP Lushoto, FRMP and NRBZ around Selous
PARTICIPATORY VLUP GUIDELINES 3 Developed Guidelines presented to National Workshop on the Institutionalisation of Participatory Village Land Use Management in Tanzania (Dodoma, October 1997) Multi sectoral task force, with its secretariat at the National Land Use Planning Commission, was formed to incorporate the workshop kh recommendations dti in the guidelines and lay down strategies for nation wide dissemination and application. Guidelines completed, printed, and launched for Dissemination and application in December 1998
DISSEMINATION AND APPLICATION OF PARTICIPATORY VLUP GUIDELINES Translated and printed into Kiswahili version Prepared and published Villagers PLUM guidebook (1 st Editioni 2000) Kiongozii cha Mwanakijiji Prepared and published Villagers PLUM guidebook (2 nd Edition 2006) Kiongozi cha Mwanakijiji Prepared and published Villagers PLUM guidebook (3 rd Edition 2010) Kiongozi cha Mwanakijiji More than 600 Village Land Use Plans have been prepared based on PLUM guidelines.

REVISION OF VLUP GUIDELINES 2 PLUM guidelines though comprehensive, are simplified to be moreuser friendly to stakeholders, khld especially at grass root levels. Meant for (DLUPA) through District PLUM teams to establish and institutionalise participatory land use planning, administration and management in villages.

REVISION OF VLUP GUIDELINES 3 Focusing on an effective system (effective PRA and CAP) of involving people in preparation and implementation of village land use plans whereby villagers and their institutions gradually build their capacity to manage village land. Integrating development efforts and investment of relevant sectors (programmes) involved in rural development (e.g. WMAs, PFM, MACEMP, ASDP/DADPs) for complementariness in integrated participatory land use planning and management. Formalising agreements through minutes or other written documents, leading to land use plans, by laws laws, certificates of land occupancy, etc. attributing to improved land security and more efficient use and development of land resources.
