Uganda drive to certify customary land runs into culture clash


6 Min Read
PADER, Uganda (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When the residents of a northern Ugandan village heard about a plan to document their land, they worried it was going to be stolen.
But after photographing the land in Owele and taking coordinates, government officials gave people there something they never had before: pieces of paper proving the land they lived on was theirs.
The lush grasslands of Owele, in Pader district, are regulated by clans, families and tradition, and before then had no formal land titles.
Santa Otyeka, a 73-year-old parish leader, said her new land ownership document stopped her brothers-in-law from taking her land after the death of her husband.

After a deadly landslide in climate-hit Uganda, survivors sue for action

BUSHIKA, Uganda (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - For the people of Bushika sub-county in eastern Uganda, December 3, 2019 was the day the ground gave way.
Rain had poured for days, tumbling down the steep hillsides, seeping from the earth, and turning the streams a dirty brown.
Robinah Nandutu remembers looking at a crack that had opened in the path she was walking along. Then, suddenly, she was sliding, mud up to her chest, rocks pounding her back, falling with the land itself.
“I tried to run, but the speed of it was too fast,” she said, standing near the gash the landslide left in the hill.

Uganda to state agencies: No cash without a climate plan

KAMPALA, Uganda (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Inspired by a similar diversity policy, Uganda’s government is set to require public agencies to allocate part of their budgets to climate change measures if they want state funding, hailing the move as a big step toward meeting the nation’s green goals.
But while some climate experts say linking funding to climate action is essential to slowing global warming, others warn that already tight local government budgets mean the policy would do little to help.
As part of the country’s first National Climate Change Bill, passed by legislators in late April, all government ministries, departments, and agencies would need to submit a climate change compliance certificate to get their funding.
