| Summary: | Rwanda has initiated a major land tenure
reform program over the last two decades to clarify land
rights, underpinned by far-reaching legal and institutional
reforms (2004 national land policy (NLP); 2005 organic land
law (OLL)), which culminated in a nationwide program of
systematic land tenure regularization (LTR) that was
completed in 2012. The implementation of the land governance
assessment framework (LGAF) in Rwanda is timely and will
help the country to take stock in a comprehensive way,
benchmark, and assess priorities as input into ongoing
policy, legal, and institutional reforms. LGAF was
undertaken between September 2014 and May 2015, and
validated in January 2016. The framework analysis is
organized into nine modules: (i) land tenure recognition;
(ii) rights to forest and common lands and rural land use
regulations; (iii) urban land use, planning, and
development; (iv) public land management; (v) process and
economic benefit of transfer of public land to private use;
(vi) public provision of land information; (vii) land
valuation and taxation; (viii) dispute resolution; and (ix)
review of institutional arrangements and policies. |
