Forest tenure reform implementation in Uganda: What lessons for policy and practice?
In this interview, Justine Namaalwa of the Department of Environment, School of Forestry, Environment and Geographical Sciences at Makerere University in Uganda, points out that despite forest tenure reform, there are still no formerly recognized gazetted community forests in the country because of the onerous process for registration. As a result, community forests in the country are informal, organized and managed by communities, with district-level permission. Without formal recognition, the communities have no tenure security. This video is part of a series on the implementation of forest tenure reform in Uganda, which emerged from the Prospective Participatory Analysis (PPA) that examined reform implementation in the country as part the Global Comparative Study on Land Tenure Reform.
