To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much his Department has spent on projects associated with land tenure reform in Rwanda.

Between October 2002 and December 2008, DFID spent a total of £3.045 million in support of land tenure reform in Rwanda. From October 2002 to July 2004, £276,000 was spent on providing a Land Policy Specialist and conducting studies to help the Government of Rwanda develop a new Land Law and Policy. The Land Law was enacted in 2005, and by the end of the programme, £2.976 million will have been spent developing and piloting a system for providing secure land title to landholders. DFID's Country Plan for Rwanda (2008 to 2012), proposes supporting the roll-out of a similar land tenure programme nationwide.
