    Rwanda

    This paper contains a preliminary summary of key issues and findings from a desk review of
    the literature on land titling projects and programmes in urban and peri-urban areas of
    developing countries. It draws on a large number of documents, not all of which have been
    incorporated into the review at the time of writing. The present bibliography will be
    expanded in the final text of the review which is to be completed by early December 2006.

    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.
