Synopsis: Rwanda's Land Tenure Reform: Non-existent to Best Practice provides a detailed account of how Rwanda managed to systematically demarcate and register all land, comprising over 10 million parcels within five years. This book: - Provides a detailed account of how Rwanda built a land administration system which is now internationally viewed as a model of success for implementing a complex land reform programme in the developing world. - Considers the ways in which land tenure reform has contributed to the country's development beyond the land sector. - Discusses how Rwanda's example can be followed by other countries wishing to embark on similar programmes of designing and implementing a nationwide land tenure regularisation programme. - Provides key strategic orientation to achieve a sustainable land administration programme. Offering a comprehensive narrative of the land tenure reform programme from inception to implementation, this book will be important reading for policy makers, land administration professionals, academics and development partners working in land administration and land tenure programmes in developing countries.
