dc.description.abstractThis paper highlights how women are interfacing with institutions of power at a local level in Uganda in terms of land claims. According to the Land Act 1998, all land is vested in the citizens who own it. Enormous resistance occurred behind the scenes against women’s efforts to include a provision on spousal co-ownership of land. The provision was passed in parliament but it did not appear in the published Land Act (2003:162). Land administration is an important factor in the constitution and enjoyment of property rights; it can convert tenure regimes into resource management and implemetation strategies.en
