Ugandan government officials stated on Monday that the Ugandan government has reiterated its commitment to strengthening land governance and protecting vulnerable groups from unfair eviction. At the closing ceremony of the ten-year Uganda Land Policy Response Project (RELAPU), Dr. Sam Meania, Minister of State for Land Affairs, pointed out that the government's relentless efforts in formulating and implementing land policies and laws have significantly reshaped the country's development prospects. He further added that Uganda's responsible land policy not only helped many families invest and obtain credit, but also successfully resolved long-standing land disputes, shifting people's attention from Mayi lo land to traditional land holdings. Uganda's responsible land policy has transformed land security into a viable economic tool, completing land registration for over 111000 households and greatly enhancing community investment confidence. Women can now farm with peace of mind, without worrying about eviction; farmers can also engage in long-term planning. In addition, local systems have shown stronger capabilities in preventing land grabbing and resolving disputes, "emphasized Dr. Meania.
