Securing communal land rights in Karamoja

The report “Policy and legal framework for securing communal land rights in Karamoja: challenges, opportunities and entry points for interventions” (2018, 28pp) presents the findings of a land governance study commissioned by the BRACED (Building Resilience to Climate Extremes and Disasters) project in the Karamoja region of Uganda. The aim of the study was to identify opportunities within the existing policy and legal framework in Uganda for securing communal land tenure for the agropastoralist communities in Karamoja. The study involved an in-depth analysis of land governance frameworks and its application to Karamoja, including linkages between land tenure and livelihoods, and challenges to communal land tenure. It also identified best practices in rural land protection of relevance to Karamoja and offers a step-by-step guide on land registration in Uganda. The study was carried out by CELEP partner Michael Ochieng Odhiambo with support from Mercy Corps BRACED staff.
