Book Description
Part five is an assessment of the prospects of the Act in bringing about development in Uganda within the institutional and political context of the Land Act debate and the ambiguities embedded in the Act. [...] Under the terms of the1900 Agreement, of the total of 19,700 square miles of the land of Buganda, more than 8000 square miles, the mailo, were allocated to the king and private individuals mainly chiefs, notables, the church and the colonial state (crown land). [...] While this shortcoming has been taken care of by the various studies for the imple- mentation of the Land Act in the various districts, the starting point should have been the national dimensions of the land question. [...] The role of the state has changed in the area of management as the locus of control is shifted to the Uganda Land Commission and below it, District Land Boards and Land Committees. [...] The major concern here is the idea of appointment of the members of the Commission by the President.

Evaluating the Impact of Land Tenure and Titling on Access to Credit in Uganda
Author: Carly K. Petracco, John Pender
Publisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
"The theorized impact of land tenure and titling on access to credit has produced mixed results in the empirical literature. Land tenure and titling is hypothesized to increase access to credit because of the enhanced land security provided and the newfound ability to use land as collateral. Using land as collateral and obtaining access to credit are paramount concerns in Uganda and in all of Africa, as greater emphasis is placed on the need to modernize the agricultural system. This paper uses a new approach in evaluating whether land tenure and titling have an impact on access to credit for rural households in Uganda. The new approach includes comparisons across four categories: (1) households who have customary land with versus without a customary certificate, (2) households who have freehold land with versus without a title, (3) households with a title or certificate having freehold versus customary tenure, and (4) households without a title or certificate having freehold versus customary tenure. Each comparison is then evaluated for the impact on access to any form of credit, formal credit, and informal credit. This analysis allows for an in-depth look into which element, tenure or title, is impacting access to credit and to which type of credit, formal or informal. To conduct this analysis, matching techniques are used, including propensity score matching and the Abadie and Imbens matching method. These two methods contain both strengths and weaknesses that allow the results to support to one another. The only significant finding of the matching was a positive impact on access to credit of freehold without title over customary without certificate. Results imply that tenure, not title, impacts credit access for rural households in Uganda."--Authors' abstract.

Legal knowladge and economic development: The case of land rights in Uganda
Author: Klaus W. Deininger
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Land use
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
"Mixed evidence on the impact of formal title in much of Africa is often used to question the relevance of dealing with land policy issues in this continent. The authors use data from Uganda to assess the impact of a disaggregated set of rights on investment, productivity, and land values, and to test the hypothesis that individuals' lack of knowledge of the new law reduces their tenure security. Results point toward strong and positive effects of greater tenure security and transferability. Use of exogenous knowledge of its provisions as a proxy for the value of the land law suggests that this piece of legislation had major economic benefits that remain to be fully realized.
