      abstract = {Despite the robustness of various land instruments and  legal and institutional regulations on various sectors,  Tanzania’s land distribution-related policy implementation  and practice is facing numerous challenges. Tanzania is not  only experiencing poor land conditions, but also poor land  management and ineffective policy implementation. Areas of  concern includes public policy actions on land conflicts;  settlements and housing problems; and conflicting demand  for land for mining, large scale agriculture, conservation,  tourism, ranching and pastoral nomadism. This study  highlights that the land sector in Tanzania is in a state  of instability due to inability to secure rights to land,  issues around transparency and ongoing disputes and  misunderstanding within society as demand for land  increases. The study tries to find out the potential of  land and available related policies incongruent with the  future land distribution and land use for sustainable land  use in Tanzania by recommending the proper land  distribution policy directions for feasible outcomes.  Secondary data analysis was applied to support the existing  scenario in land policies regarding land use and the land  distribution paradox. A review of land use, distribution,  ownership in Tanzania has been conducted by focusing on  land use and land cover distribution, size of public land,  land claims by major sectors, and land ownership in  Tanzania. The study recommends that the government should  go beyond land reforms and new legal regulations, but  rather concentrate on innovative, participatory, and  sustainable land development policy approaches. More  emphasis on the operational land market, land information  system, land rights, and security of tenure should instead  be heightened. Again, effective coordination with relevant  sectoral agencies can enhance the implementation of  existing policies toward achieving sustainable land and  resource management.},
