This affects people’s claims to land, especially those of vulnerable groups like women and youth. The rigorous research and effective advocacy of some Ugandan organizations has contributed to an increased focus on legal pluralism and the complementarity of tenure systems in the country, which can help secure gender equity in the administration of land and dispute resolution systems.
