Rwanda’s Land Policy Reform promotes agri-business and encourages self-employment. This paper aims to analyze the situation from a self-employment perspective when dealing with expropriation risk in rural areas. In this study, we conducted a structured survey addressed to 63 domestic units, complemented by focus groups of 47 participants from Kimonyi Sector. The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that having job alternatives, men heading domestic units, literacy skills in English, and owning land lease certificates (p < 0.05) are positively and significantly related to awareness of land expropriation risk. The decision of the head of the domestic unit to practice the main activity under self-employment status is positively influenced by owning a land lease certificate, number of plots, and French skills, while skills in English and a domestic unit’s size have a positive and significant influence on involvement in a second activity as self-employed. Information on expropriation risk has no significant effect on self-employment. The domestic unit survey revealed that 34.9% of the heads of domestic units only have one job, 47.6% have at least two jobs in their everyday life, 12.7% have a minimum of three jobs, and 4.8% are inactive. The focus group synthesis exposed the limits to self-employment ability and facilities.

A household’s savings are considered a primary source of investments which drive economic growth and development. This study identifies the determinants of private savings among poor rural households in Rwanda. It uses data from the 5th round of the Integrated Household Living Conditions surveys conducted in Rwanda every 4 years. It specifies a simultaneous equations model and does the estimations using the 2SLS method to account for missing variables and a possible correlation between some covariates and the error term, which is complemented with a T-test and correlation analysis. The results of the T-test show that savings among poor rural households are significantly positive. The econometric estimates show that in contrast with existing literature, income and all other forms of wealth are factors which do not influence the savings of poor rural households, while consumption is positively correlated with savings. We recommend that socioeconomic development programs, projects, and policies that aim at improving income and consumption levels thus affecting savings among poor rural households should be enhanced.

This study estimates the effects of the one cow policy on per capita consumption and the value of per hectare crop production in Rwanda using a random sample of households observed twice (2010 and 2014). A model that accounts for heterogeneity across households and the selection bias and placement effect associated with the policy is estimated. Findings show that receiving a cow has a positive effect on crop production indicating that the cattle has enabled households to become more productive on the farm. Results point to the importance of household’s knowledge and experience of rearing livestock for the outcome of receiving a cow.
