Women and Vulnerable Groups in Land Dispute Management: A Plan to Ensure That They Fully Participate and Benefit

摘要

This plan is an activity for the Rwanda Land Dispute Management Project (LDMP), a USAID funded effort under the Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation. ARD, Inc. is implementing the LDMP with the Rwanda Ministry of Natural Resources (MINIRENA), the Rwanda Initiative for Sustainable Development (RISD), the Center for Justice and Peace Building at Eastern Mennonite University (CJP), and the Rural Development Institute (RDI). The LDMP Project Work Plan (September 2007) requires that the project ensure that women and disadvantaged groups obtain information and equal access to all land law and land dispute resolution processes. This participation and beneficiary plan serves that purpose by recommending concrete steps that any follow-on assistance aimed at supporting and strengthening the process for resolving land disputes should include if there is going to be national implementation.
