Simplifying Registration
Forest tenure reform implementation in Uganda:
What lessons for policy and practice? (Part 2 of 5)
This video – the second in a five-part series on the implementation of forest tenure reform in Uganda – zeroes in one of the key findings of the Prospective Participatory Analysis (PPA) that examined the issue as part of the Global Comparative Study on Land Tenure Reform, namely the urgent and obvious need to simplify the registration process for collective and individual land rights, a major impediment to tenure reform. PPA stakeholders in Uganda and project leader, Esther Mwangi, principal scientist with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), explain what makes the forest land registration process so onerous, time-consuming and inaccessible, and how it could be improved.
