CIFOR-ICRAF COUNTRY PROFILE: Rwanda

Export citation

Landlocked in the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa, Rwanda is remarkable for its high population density, small land area per household, and hilly topography. With 571 people per square kilometre, it has the highest population density in Africa and the fifth-highest in the world. It is the test case for using every inch of land intentionally.
