The Fast Track Land Reform in Zimbabwe adversely affected environmental management. The study sought to establish the presence and functionality of institutions for rangeland management in Zimbabwe in Fast Track Resettlement areas. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. A total of 30 questionnaires were administered on each household, randomly selected to get their perspective on rangeland management issues. Key informants were also interviewed to understand the trajectories of rangelands management. Data from questionnaires was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results revealed that there was a dearth of relevant institutions for the management of rangelands as a common property resource. It was concluded that lack of robust institutions, particularly in Fast Track Resettlement areas was at the core of rangeland deterioration. In order to enjoy the full benefits of the fast track land reform, robust technical support has to be availed to reduce environmental degradation taking place in the area.
