The Land Rights Research and Resources Institute (LARRRI/HAKIARDHI)

land tenure system that, among other things, promotes and advances the
rights to land of majority rural-based small-scale producers such as
peasants, pastoralists, hunter-gatherers, fisher folks and related
groups.

The Institute is currently working on several of
programmes and projects related to land rights and governance, gender
equality, and climate change adaptation, which are being carried out
both physically in project districts, villages, and wards and through
the use of digital platforms such as toll-free services, push SMS, and
social media outlets. These initiatives
impact 22 districts across the country, including Kilosa, Kiteto,
Kilombero, Mufindi, Morogoro, Kilindi, Mkinga, Kibiti, Rufiji, Kilolo,
Bukombe, Kahama, Kalambo, Korogwe, Kisarawe, Liwale, Malinyi, Misungwi,
Mkuranga, Nsimbo, Nzega, and Ulanga.
