    Ethiopia

    This study analyses the determinants of land tenure insecurity and its impact on intensity of use of purchased farm inputs among households in southern Ethiopia. Seventeen percent of the households stated that they were tenure insecure. The feeling of tenure insecurity could be caused by the land redistribution policy in Ethiopia where household size has been the main criterion used for land allocation after the land reform in 1975. This would imply that land rich households should be more tenure insecure.

    régime Habyarimana en 1994, la capitale du Rwanda n’a pas démenti ce schéma et

    Le retour des réfugiés de 1959, la politique de regroupement de l'habitat adoptée en
    1996, la disette qui frappe le pays depuis 1999, la faible pluviosité qui prévaut dans le
    pays depuis deux ans après le phénomène el nino, conduisent à une prise de
    conscience nouvelle de ce qu'il faut appeler la question foncière, de ses relations

    conditions dans lesquelles la problématique foncière s'est progressivement imposée
