Abstract

The review focuses on Land Law Reforms in Rwanda, exploring how these reforms have impacted land tenure security. The review synthesizes secondary data from published studies, government reports, and academic literature on Land Law reforms in Rwanda. It employs a thematic analysis approach to identify common trends and significant findings across various case studies. A notable finding is the mixed success of land tenure security improvements across different regions of Rwanda, with some areas showing substantial progress while others remain vulnerable to insecurity threats. The review concludes that while significant strides have been made in improving land rights and security through legal reforms, persistent challenges related to implementation and enforcement require continued attention. Future research should focus on enhancing the sustainability of these reforms by strengthening institutional capacities and fostering greater stakeholder participation. Policy-makers should also consider developing specific mechanisms for addressing recurrent issues such as customary practices that conflict with formal laws.
