Abstract: This study aims to give practical and evidenced-based recommendations on Rwanda’s Land Tenure Regularization Program (LTRP). The LTRP in Rwanda has profound social and economic implications for poor rural households in the entire country, and it also provides lessons for other countries in the African region currently undergoing land tenure reform. We used a gender sensitive analysis to investigate outcomes of the LTRP during its early stages, including the gendered patterns of titling, perceptions of tenure security, and inheritance, and examined the extent to which the program and its processes can be enhanced with a public awareness-raising program.
