Abstract

The 8Rs framework for responsible land management (RLM) is designed to evaluate individual land management projects or interventions. This paper describes such an evaluation of land management interventions in peri-urban areas of Ekiti State, Nigeria, with a focus on the structures, processes, and impact of these interventions. Primary data were collected using semi-structured interviews and survey questionnaires. This article uses the 8Rs framework for RLM to show how responsible the land management interventions are in Ekiti State. The findings show that most elements of the 8Rs frameworks are missing from the interventions and need to be addressed. The RLM matrix shows that the structures, processes, and impact of the interventions need improvement. This study provides an understanding of the 8Rs framework for RLM and the state of responsibleness of land management in Ekiti State, which is crucial for politicians, policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders. The findings will help these officials design an inclusive and collaborative land management system.
