ABSTRACT
The benefits of Foreiqn Direct in vestment for economic development
have been well established in the exi~ting literature. Forei~in investors
need land to conduct their business when they move to invest in a
certain locality Yet little, if any, land in Uganda is vacant, idle and
unclaimed. As a resul4, many companies experience difficulties
securIng land for their operations. The researcher therefore set out to
examine the laws governing /anc4 particularly in respect of access to
land and land ownership by foreiqn Investors in Uganda by answering
the following research questions; (I) What are the laws governing land
access in Uganda. (ii) What are the laws governing land ownershi7’ in
Uganda. (iii) Is there a link between land access and land ownershi~
and foreIqn direct investment in Uganda? ThL5 was done by reviewing
the legal framework for land access, ownershi7 and the institutions put
in place for land admin,~tration and how they impacted FDI In Uganda.
In particulai~ assessment was made of the poilcy and operational
framework in terms of how to obtain access to land, which ownershio
riqhts accrue to foreI~i’n investors and what kind of protection i~
guaranteed to the riqhts acquired. Using interview Guide and Archival
Analysis, has been established that there is no policy framework to lay
down the framework for the Implementation of the laws and that
foreiqn ownershi7 of land though prohibited does not Influence PDI
inflow. On the other hana~ easy access to land can positively impact the
inflow of FDI into the countty, but this is not the only factor to be
considered.
