This research shall mainly focus on the various laws and policies that have
influenced the existence of the land tenure systems and how these have
impacted the rights of the occupants in Uganda.
The research shall assess the challenges faced by both the government and the
land title holders in resolving their disputes.
The research shall assess the accusations of land grabbing especially from
Buganda and counter accusations of selfishness in defending unpalatable land
regimes from other sources, and how they currently go a long way in clouding
any agreement on the appropriate land policy given the importance attached on
land in Uganda.
The research shall cover the law governing squatters, challenges caused by
squatters onto the legal land owners, challenges faced by people that own land
communally, impact of the tenure on leasehold, and women as occupants.
The study recommends that there is need to; set realistic time limits for the
meeting of the district land boards, seeking legal advice, sensitizing
communities on their land rights, establishing the degree of subsidiary
granted; recognizing the legitimacy and dynamism of derived rights; need to
regulate degree of autonomy to generate acceptance and sensitizing landlords on derived rights
