Alban Singirankabo

Profile

Uwacu obtained his MSc Degree in Geo-Information Science and Earth observation applied to Land Administration from ITC/University of Twente (2011). His work focused on the processes of first land registration and adjudication with a case study in Rwanda. He has a 10 years’ experience in teaching Geography, Land Administration and Geo-Information related courses at the University of Rwanda (UR) and at the UR-GIS Centre (CGIS) where he regularly participated as a trainer in tailor-made courses.

Research

His research looks at the relations between land tenure security (LTS), agricultural productivity and food security. In particular, it assesses the changes in agricultural productivity and uses statistical correlations to ascertain their links with land tenure security and food security. To do this, the study combines literature data and field data on farm plot biography and livelihood survey of farmers’ households in Rwanda. The result will be a conceptual and methodological framework to implement LTS based agricultural reform programs.
