    Rwanda

    Conflits armés et crises alimentaires contribuent à leur manière à urbaniser
    l’Afrique sub-saharienne lorsque les villes jouent un rôle de refuge et que les combats
    se déroulent à la campagne. Malgré l’évacuation de ses habitants lors de la chute du
    régime Habyarimana en 1994, la capitale du Rwanda n’a pas démenti ce schéma et
    s’est vite repeuplée une fois le génocide terminé. La différence est qu’elle est
    désormais tenue par des élites tutsi et que les bouleversements de l’année 1994 ont

    Rwanda

    More than eleven years after the 1994 genocide, Rwanda might be an internally pacified, but by far not unified nation. There are different factors, which threaten the fragile social equilibrium. The issue of land is one of them. Land has long been a scarce and disputed resource in Rwanda. Ongoing shortages due to decreasing soil quality, growing population pressure and unequal distribution, as well as a lack of income generating alternatives beyond agriculture create an extremely precarious future to the national economy of the small, landlocked country.

    Rwanda

    In Rwanda, two factors make land a highly important and contested issue. First,
    Rwanda has the highest person-to-land ratio in Africa. This creates tremendous
    pressure on land in a country where most of the population lives in rural areas, and
    where agriculture remains the central economic activity. Second, Rwanda is recovering
    from massive population shifts caused by decades of ethnic strife and the 1994 civil war
    and genocide, which resulted in displaced populations and overlapping land claims.

    Rwanda

    This case study, based on interviews in Rwanda and an extensive review of secondary material, builds on previous analysis, and examines proposed land reforms as articulated in the National Land Policy. However, it does not attempt to be a comprehensive review of the land policy – more in-depth studies have already been conducted. Instead, it situates the policy and the process involved within the wider debates about governance and conflict resolution in the country.

    Rwanda

    This report is part of a broader comparative effort by As the author worked with colleagues in Rwanda,
    two other important dimensions of the Rwandan
    experience became clear. Refugee return and land
    access in Rwanda has been an extraordinarily
    complex matter, with some refugees leaving just in
    time for others returning to take up their homes and
    lands. Rwanda has important lessons to teach us
    about the need to maintain flexibility in dealing with
    complexity, and raises questions about whether

    More than 200 years after its Örst publication, the Malthusian thesis is still much debated, albeit in a modiÖed form. Rather than predicting a global catastrophe, most neo-Malthusians stress the local character of the relationship between population pressure, natural resource scarcity, and conáict as well as its dependency on the socio-political and economic context. This softened version of Malthusíthesis has received little empirical support in cross-country studies.

    This Policy & Practice Brief analyses the role of traditional institutions for conflict resolution, paying special attention to their relevance in post-conflict societies. Using Rwanda’s abunzi mediation system as an example, the brief considers traditional African mechanisms for conflict resolution as unique, context-specific, and responsive to the justice needs of societies emerging from conflict.
