Uganda’s forest policy of 2001 expresses the government’s commitment to gender equality. This includes increasing women’s security of tenure over forest resources with forest tenure reforms. Various stakeholders offer their perspectives on how forest tenure reforms are affecting women, and ways that women’s participation, benefits and secure access to land and trees can be improved, given cultural realities. The 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) and facilitated in Uganda by the Association of Uganda Professional Women in Agriculture and Environment.
