Compendium of best practices of land reform processes that advocate for women's land rights: the case of Uganda (draft)

Abstract

This report looks at a best practice that addresses the single most important economic factor affecting women's situation, that is, access to and control over land. Learning lessons and exchanging experiences will throw light on creative ways of looking at land issues, the variety of options to be considered, and the means to carry through consultation and build consensus.

The identification of the Uganda land reform process as a best practice was guided by the following criteria.
