In Rwanda, while land ownership is a protected right, it comes with the responsibility to ensure that land is effectively utilised, especially in prime locations designated for productive use, according to the City of Kigali.

The City of Kigali has urged landowners to begin building and utilizing their land to avoid the risk of ownership termination, especially in prime areas like the Amahoro Stadium neighbourhood, Nyabugogo, Nyarugenge, and Kimihurura, where significant construction projects are underway.
