Le rythme de valorisation de la réserve foncière de la SMIT, estimée à 1.887 hectares et héritée de la SONABA, est toujours lent, surtout à Founty, Tamaouanza, Aghroud et Tifnit.

For hundreds of years, pastoralists in Ethiopia’s lowlands have relied on strong customary land tenure systems to survive. Historically, legislation has failed to clearly define communal rights to rangelands, and the specific roles and responsibilities for both communities and local government to administer and manage these resources. This legislative deficiency prevented pastoral communities from fully exercising their constitutional rights to land (Ethiopia’s Constitution broadly recognizes pastoral communities’ right to access land and prevents their involuntary displacement).
