I am assistant professor in Land Policy and Land Management at the PGM Department since April 2014. I hold an MSc degree in Geo-Information Science from Wageningen University (2003); and a PhD degree in Land Administration (2011 – also from Wageningen University). My PhD research focused on the land rights of nomadic pastoralists as exercised through their seasonal migrations (thus moving land rights in time and space), in the context of formal land administration – which focuses on fixing land rights on land parcels through adjudication, surveying and rights registration. The study explored the land tenure options suitable for supporting pastoralists’ moving land rights in the formal and administration system. During my PhD tenure I was also involved in the development and testing of the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) prototype – a pro poor land registration tool supported by UN-Habitat. I did work with the Dutch Kadaster (Kadaster International) 2005-2007 in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands before starting my PhD in 2007.
Currently at ITC, my research focuses on two areas. First, in understanding the social-spatial-temporal influence first Innovative Approaches for Land Administration on tenure security. Tenure security emanating from innovative registration approaches may influence how people view their land rights and consequently decisions they make to use the land in space and time. A social-spatial-temporal analysis quantifies the relationship between the tenure security and observable spatial changes on land. Secondly, in understanding the influence of regulatory policies on land owners and consequently their actions in response to these policies. The aim of this research is to provide a theoretical base on how land management policies influence individual choices for compliance to land policies and regulations. A social-spatial-temporal analysis support outcomes on compliance. Results have implications on tenure security and suggestions for policy inclusions.
I have been involved in various aspects of education – development of curricula, evaluation of curricula, course design and implementation. In 2012 I started a BSc program in Land Administration and Management INES-Ruhengeri in Rwanda. While in Rwanda I was the Executive Secretary for the Eastern Africa Land Administration Network (EALAN), a platform where mainly academic partners share ideas, experiences and plans for improving land administration education/training and research in the Eastern Africa Region.
My teaching areas relate to:
Mainly related to land tenure studies. Currently engaging on land tenure security, land tenure and food security, land rights for women, and on innovative approaches for land tenure recordation – under the general umbrella of Fit for Purpose land administration.

In 2022 I led a Land-at-Scale project "A review of long-term impacts of land registration on Women’s Land Rights", funded by Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) and managed by the Netherlands Enterprise and Development Agency (RVO).
I coordinated a 4 year project (Jan2016-Jan2020) project “Strengthening the Regional EALAN Network to Build Capacity in Land Administration and Land Governance in the Great Lakes Region” (SEALAN). The project was funded by the Netherlands Initiative for Capacity development in Higher Education (NICHE). This project aimed to strengthen the capacity of the Eastern Africa Land Administration Network universities in providing education, short courses and conducting research in three thematic areas i.e.: i) Land administration ii) Land governance and policies, and iii) Access to land for women and vulnerable groups, and of course to support the network to be more professional. As the lead party, ITC collaborated with the Dutch Kadaster, MDF, and a Kenya-based Land Development and Governance Institute (LDGI) to implement the project. The EALAN network currently constitute of 13 member universities across 8 countries in the Eastern Africa Region i.e.:
I have also contributed in a number of short courses/Tailor Made Trainings (TMT) for Land Administration professionals as follows:
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
