Abstract

The land in fishing communities is especially susceptible to land grabbing. Findings reveal that lawlessness, ignorance of the law, unlawful evictions and increasing conflicts in fishing and farming communities, all lead to loss of access to land and fishing grounds. This report gives background and context of the research, clarifies the legal and policy framework governing the use of land in Uganda, while providing background on the Mukono district. The research is the first of its kind to offer affected communities a platform to exchange among themselves and reflect on the ongoing land grabbing taking place in in their communities.
