Abstract: Zimbabwe has been implementing devolution as espoused in the constitution of the country (Constitution of Zimbabwe, Amendment (20) Act 2013; Section 264(1)). This has been expressed in unequivocal terms and progress has been noted in local governance devolution. The same cannot be said of devolution of land administration. Yet the same has been touted as a solution to some of the main challenges in land administration in Zimbabwe. This had put the systems meant to support the devolution of land administration under the spotlight. The paper sought to examine the adequacy of the legal and institutional framework for a devolved land administration system in Zimbabwe.
