All Africa — Report on land registration and demarcation efforts highlights Landesa’s efforts in Rwanda’s Eastern Province.
Rwanda Inspirer — Landesa is partnering with the Rwanda Land Management and Use Authority to deploy 50 specialized land surveyors in Eastern Rwanda, addressing chronic land boundary disputes in Nyagatare, Kayonza, and Kirehe districts. This initiative aims to provide accurate boundary demarcations and empower local authorities to manage land conflicts effectively, fostering peace and reducing future disputes.
Landesa’s Rachel McMonagle was quoted in an article about the need to include rural people in conservation efforts. Failing to safeguard the land and forest rights of Indigenous communities would both jeopardize livelihoods and undermine global efforts to combat climate change.
