Abstract

The research sought to assess the effectiveness of institutional rural land dispute management strategies. The research was carried in the form of a case study, in which a sample of 40 participants from a population of 123 was used. Purposive and simple random sampling procedures were employed in selecting elements from a population of 123. Questionnaires and interviews were used in triangulation to collect data on the sample. After analyzing the collected data, the researcher observed that non -consensual strategies are effective in resolving rural land disputes in Zimbabwe. The research also revealed that Traditional leaders are key actors in rural land dispute resolution. The study recommended that all conflicting parties be involved in resolving rural land disputes.
