Landesa’s study on the early stages of Rwanda’s land reform program was just published by World Development – a prominent peer-reviewed development journal targeting policy makers and practitioners.
The study, conducted in partnership with CARE International Rwanda, provides practical recommendations to ensure Rwanda’s land reform strengthens the tenure of women and vulnerable groups. Land tenure reforms typically provide an opportunity to improve social and economic resilience for poor rural households.
Landesa’s report provides practical lessons and implementable strategies for Rwanda and other countries in the region currently engaging in land tenure reform.
