    Africa, Rwanda

    Although increased global demand for
    land has led to renewed interest in African land tenure, few
    models to address these issues quickly and at the required
    scale have been identified or evaluated. The case of
    Rwanda's nation-wide and relatively low-cost land
    tenure regularization program is thus of great interest.
    This paper evaluates the short-term impact (some 2.5 years
    after completion) of the pilots undertaken to fine-tune the

    administration can contribute significantly to the
    objectives of promoting gender equality and protecting

    South Sudan is a new country of 10.5
    million people that has just emerged from conflict and still
    facing challenges with recovery and development. Although
    economic disparities, political exclusion and deprivation in
    the distribution of political and economic power between the

    center of the prolonged civil war was the struggle for
