Abstract

This article explores the theoretical foundations of land reform in post-colonial East Africa, with a specific focus on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), drawing from existing literature and debates. This article employs a review of existing literature and theoretical frameworks without empirical data collection or analysis. This theoretical framework underscores the importance of understanding historical contexts and current policies to foster sustainable development in post-colonial African settings. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies that incorporate empirical data to validate theoretical insights. Policy makers could benefit from integrating these findings into land reform strategies designed for equitable socio-economic outcomes.
