The purpose of securing land rights is to guarantee a person's real rights over land. The lack of a reliable security regime is a hindrance to the socio-economic development of African countries. This study aims to compare land security regimes in Africa through the cases of three developing African countries: Morocco, Tunisia and Rwanda. The aim is to build on the strengths and weaknesses of the regime adopted in each of these countries. It is a legal comparison between the laws and regulations of the countries in question. This study identified the keys to success of a land security regime. The keys are the obligation to secure, the low cost of securing land rights and the reduced time frames. These assets are the hallmarks of a reliable security regime and are performing enabling African countries to carry out their development.
