Rwanda -- Economic aspects, Land tenure -- Social aspects, Farm ownership -- Economic aspects, Business, Economics
Abstract

A case study of northwest Rwanda showed that the increasing inequality of land distribution and rising incidence of poverty are caused by quasi-landlessness and the nonexistence of regular off-farm incomes. The access to regular off-farm incomes opportunities serves to highlight the inequalities in land distribution via the operation of active and illegal land market. Social relations and family life are also affected by the increasing incidence of land disputes and threats of land dispossession.

12. Distributional and nutritional impact of devaluation in Rwanda

Author

Minot, Nicholas W.

Subjects
Rwanda -- Economic aspects, Currency devaluation -- Rwanda, Welfare -- Economic aspects, Foreign exchange -- Economic aspects, Business, Economics, Social sciences
Abstract

The effect of devaluation on household welfare, demand and nutritional intake was investigated using data from the National Household Budget and Consumption Survey in Rwanda. The survey revealed that devaluation decreased the income of the poor by 4% or less. Its impact on caloric intake was even less than 4%. Its effect on urban and high-income households was proportionately two to three times larger. This suggested that the urban poor is more affected by devaluation than the rural poor. These results may be caused by households' insulation from price changes by home production.
