Abstract

Developing countries are urged to adopt fit-for-purpose land administration (FFPLA) to address global land administration challenges under rapid urbanisation. The FFPLA has proven cost-effective in initialising the formalisation of land tenure as a key input into planning and land development. However, its long-term ability to support planning, particularly its suitability for high-value, rapidly changing urban contexts remains uncertain. This study assesses Rwanda’s FFP implementation, focusing on contextual factors, methods used, and current capacity to address urban planning needs. Findings highlight gaps between policy ambitions and practical outcomes, calling for adjustments to better support planning and sustainable urban development.
