Abstract

Historical circumstances and colonial policies in Uganda are well known to have created land tenure insecurity and other unintended consequences, including establishment of the overlapping land ownership rights, conflicts on land, poor land management, and skewed land distribution (Rugadya, 1999; Coldham, 2000; Deininger, 2003, 2005; Green, 2006; Deininger and Ayalew, 2007; Ahene, 2009). Customary land is estimated to comprise at least 75 percent of land in Uganda (Busingye, 2002) and was for a long time not legally recognized (Bosworth, 2003; Hunt, 2004). It was administered based on traditional institutional arrangements that discouraged the functioning of land rental and sales markets, while focusing on preserving the cultural identity of different lineage groups.
