Dorcas W. Okalany, Naome Kabanda

Land in Uganda is a critical factor of production and an essential pillar of human existence and national development, (National Land Policy, 2013). Land is the basis of income, sustenance and identity for the majority of Ugandans. Agriculture dominates the country’s economy and accounts for over 25.3% of the country’s GDP, 80% of export earning and estimated 80% of employment for the local population (Census Report, 2014).
