Forest tenure reform implementation in Uganda: What lessons for policy and practice?
In this interview, Rachel Musoke, of the advisory committee and acting Vice President of the Uganda Forestry Association, addresses the problematic link between forest degradation and land clearing for agriculture in her country. She says this is partly because communities are not aware of the ecological services and the value of standing forests, particularly in mitigating the effects of climate change, and she calls on government and NGOs to help disseminate this information to a far wider audience. This video is part of a series on the implementation of forest tenure reform in Uganda, which emerged from the Global Comparative Study on Land Tenure Reform, led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
