Land in Uganda The Uganda Constitution recognizes four (4)
tenure systems namely :a) Mailob) Freeholdc) Customaryd) Leasehold
The presentation is based on data from the Land Information System (LIS); and data from the Justice, Law and Order Sector (JLOS).
The Land Information System (LIS) In Feb 2013, Government of Uganda launched the Land Information System.
It was piloted in six MZOs of Mbarara, Masaka, Jinja, Wakiso, Mukono and Kampala; and MLHUD/HQ to serve the rest of the country. It was also installed at SMD and NLIC.
The LIS development process involved:
Rehabilitation and digitization of existing land records and cadastral maps:
500,000 Titles
16,500 Maps
Provision of the base map covering 17,362 sq.km
Upgrade of the working environment and supporting system tools for 6 Ministry Zonal Offices (MZOs) and National Land Information Centre (NLIC)
Commitment/Verification Exercise The non-committed files in the system causes delay in
service delivery.
This is the due diligence exercise of reconciling the physical and digital information in the system.
This limits the direct use of digital information thus leading to delays in service delivery.
However, for land records that have already been verified, the hard copies of the documents are not required during processing of transactions, thus leading to a reduction in the number of days and time taken to register a transaction.
Percentage committed per MZO The commitment exercise has a negative effect on performance of the
LIS. The verification/commitment exercise was carried out in Jinja, Mbarara and partly in Wakiso MZOs. The current status as at February 2015 of this exercise is shown below:

NB: The Ministry has developed a six (6) month action plan to commit the 66.5% of the land records remaining.
Type of owners of registered parcels 87% of the registered parcels are singly owned while the remaining 13% have multiple ownership.
Based on 79% of the data, 44% of the registered land parcels are owned by male,13% are owned by female and 10% owned by companies.
If we exclude the missing information, 56% of the registered land is owned by male while 16% is owned by female. 13% is then owned by companies of which 9% represents Government land and parastatals.

Resolving Land Disputes Government of Uganda is in the process of appointing a
multi-sectoral Committee to spearhead the:
Review of the Judiciary rules and procedures for land dispute resolution to identify gaps and recommend improvement;
Comprehensive review of the legal, institutional and operational framework of land tribunals to identify gaps and make recommendations for improvement;
Compilation and disseminating materials on land laws and related documents;
Process of strengthening the capacity of the judiciary and the land sector to implement ADR and mediation programs; and
Provision of training to the judiciary and other land dispute resolution institutions.
Other attempts between the Ministry & JLOS An inception stakeholder’s workshop was held on 25th July,
2014. it was aimed at introducing staff of the Judiciary, JLOS, Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and other key stakeholder to the Land Dispute Resolution Component under the new Competitiveness and Enterprise Development Project.
Outputs during of the workshop: Many misunderstandings between the Judiciary and MLHUD were identified
and ironed out.
It was also agreed that there should be closer cooperation amongst the Traditional Institutions, MLHUD and the Judiciary for improvement of service delivery and reduction in court case backlog.
Next steps
Rolling out of the National Land Information System to the remaining 15 zonal offices to cover the whole country and improve service delivery
Developing a revised system incorporating the aspects of Physical Planning and Valuation; and granting corporate access to key stakeholders (corporate bodies) for easy retrieval of information.
