    Rwanda

    In Rwanda, for many years ago, rights over land for women and female orphans were not
    recognized. The main causes were the inexistence of efficient land administration systems and
    the prevalence of traditional system of land tenure which were complex and did not favor
    women and female descendants. In 2004, the Government of Rwanda had adopted a new land
    policy which was complemented by the 2005 Organic Land Law and a series of laws and
    regulations with regard to access to land, land management perspectives, and to the modalities

    Female-headed households often experience inequalities in access to resources and income-generating opportunities. Conflicts may make women poorer. But it is important to realise that conflicts also offer an opportunity for change in which gender stereotypes shift and gender roles and identities can be renegotiated. Did genocide and civil war in Rwanda lead to new opportunities for rural women?

    Up to one quarter of the world’s population is estimated to be landless, including 200 million
    people living in rural areas,1
    and approximately 75% of the world’s population living in extreme
    poverty (less than $1/day) live in rural areas.2
    According to the Food and Agriculture Agency of the
    United Nations (FAO), “rural landlessness is often the best predictor of poverty and hunger.”3
    “While not the only pathway out of poverty, ample evidence suggests that access to land is effective

    To say that access to land is one of the most important conditions for the
    empowerment of African women, would be an understatement. The cultivation of land is one
    of the main sources of income and economic wealth depends strongly on a well-elaborated
    system of land tenure. However, developing and protecting land rights1
    for women in mainly
    male-dominated societies is a long-term work. Even though law initiatives2 may guarantee a
    de jure equal access to land for women, the outcome highly depends on the way the culturebound

    As Parliamentary gender quotas have become increasingly popular, so too
    has the debate surrounding their effectiveness in enhancing women’s
    representation and gender equality in governments around the world. Women offer
    unique and important perspectives to the political process, and thus their increased
    political representation and empowerment can advance the very process of
    development. In 2003, the Rwandan government Constitutionally enacted a gender

    The world today faces a wide range of critically important issues, whose resolution require inter- national collaboration of various stakeholders. Environmental conservation and conflict resolution are such examples. Interestingly enough, these two issues have been until very recently conceptual- ized as separate problems, and coordinated resolution came to be pursued only recently. This paper attempts to connect these two critical agendas by using the case study of land issues in Rwanda in Africa.

    Africa’s Great Lakes Region has in recent years experienced
    political strife, armed conflict and population displacements
    with severe humanitarian consequences. While these events
    have clearly revolved around political struggles for the control
    of the state, recent research has pointed to the significance
    of access to renewable natural resources as structural causes
    and sustaining factors in struggles for power in the region.
    Contested rights to land and natural resources are significant,

    Since the early 1990s, parts of Afri-ca’s Great Lakes Region have expe-rienced political strife, armed con-flict and population displacements withsevere humanitarian consequences. De-spite great progress towards sustainablepeace in all the countries of the region,sporadic violence continues in some ar-eas, particularly in the Eastern DemocraticRepublic of Congo (DRC). Conflicts in theGreat Lakes Region are highly interlinked,with political and military alliances, refu-gee movements, and ethnic solidarities ty-ing the fates of the countries of the re-gion.

    Rwanda

    Rwanda is a small, landlocked country with an area of 26,338 square kilometres, only 52% of which is used or developed. The country has a population of nearly ten million people, with a population growth rate of 3.1% and a high urbanisation rate of 8% a year. The average population density for the country as a whole has been estimated at 330 persons per km in 2002, making it one of the highest density levels in Africa. This stimulates a high demand for housing, especially in urban areas where 25,000 new dwelling units are said to be needed annually.

    Rwanda

    The study assessed the adoption of land use consolidation and its determinants in Nyanza District of Southern Province, Rwanda. Land use consolidation is part of the on-going crop intensification program led by the Ministry of Agriculture in Rwanda. The extent to which this policy has been adopted is less spatially known. In addition, there is scarce knowledge about the factors affecting the adoption of this policy at household level. A sample of 132 households was randomly selected for the interviews conducted in August 2010.
