Abstract
Linking and networking campaigns between grassroots and global partners brings desirable results. The presentation provides insight into the Maasai Women Development Organization (MWEDO) and Maasai women’s groups in Tanzania who have mobilized to secure land for agriculture. Land piloting and demarcation is done using traditional knowledge in collaboration with the village government. Women apply to respective villages to acquire individual and group ownership of land. Increased numbers of women now have access to land for agriculture, grazing and settlements.
