   The implementation of effective Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) programmes in countries emerging from violent conflict are essential for building and maintaining peace and security. In many instances the disarmament and demobilisation of former combatants was achieved, but reintegration remained a challenge, due to the long-term focus and the substantial resources that are required for such a process to be successful.

   Although early attempts at land titling
   in Africa were often unsuccessful, the need to secure rights
   in view of increased demand for land, options for
   registration of a continuum of individual or communal rights

   combining information technology with participatory methods
   have led to renewed interest. This paper uses a
   difference-in-difference approach to assess economic impacts
