Advances in forest tenure reform in Uganda
The 2003 National Forest and Tree Planting Act in Uganda opened the door for forest tenure reform in the country, decentralizing forest management and according new rights to districts, communities and individuals. It also made provisions for community forests and collaborative forest management, and saw the creation of supporting institutions to implement the reforms. In this video, diverse stakeholders offer their perspectives on how these institutions are functioning, on reform progress and how it could be improved. It 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).
