It has applied part of the proceeds of this Credit to the Land Component of that Project. The Land Component implements the rehabilitation and modernization of existing Land Registry records and operations, the development of a Land Information System (LIS) and expansion of cadastral information access to all districts, and strengthening the capacity of the land sector. The capacity building activities for the land sector include a comprehensive revision of the legal framework for land administration including the revision of existing laws and the enactment of new legislation, in this case the proposed Government Lands Act. This Paper discusses issues that, in our view, require legislative attention for effective regulation of acquisition, disposal and management of Government Land in Uganda. The Constitution of Uganda, 1995 and the Land Act, 1998 ushered in revolutionary changes in the ownership of land in Uganda. While previous thereto, all land in Uganda was public land centrally vested with the Uganda Land Commission, as a result of the land tenure law reform brought about by the Constitution and the Land Act, most land in Uganda is now privately owned in mailo, freehold, leasehold and customary tenure. Notwithstanding these changes and those four official categories of land tenure, Government owns land which is comprised in and consists of the numerous immovable property assets used by government agencies to perform the functions of government. But Government land is now a limited category whose nature and legal incidents have to be determined by a process of elimination after an examination of the Constitution and the Land Act as amended. As such, although there is a new legal framework for land tenure and land management in Uganda, Government land is not defined. There is therefore a need to define Government Land . The policy goals for Government land in Uganda are stated by the Land Sector Strategic Plan 2001 - 2011 (LSSP). According to this, the resolution of a number of management issues for Government land will resolve conflicts and permit improved management of this land, or its divestiture where and if the land is no longer required for public use. The LSSP also acknowledges that documentation of Government land has not been adequate in the past, leading to many conflicts, encroachment, and poor management of 5 Government’s land resources. Further that, the rationale for maintaining some of these properties is no longer clear. The problems and issues in government land management are not unique to Uganda. Globally, there are a broad range of policy issues in relation to Government land and the public estate . These include the concern that Government land assets should be effectively managed in the public's best interest with the global perception being that public assets are generally badly managed with undefined management arrangements and responsibilities, poor records and lack of appropriate land information; that the tenure rights of those who beneficially occupy public land should be secure; and that Government land should be properly allocated for land reform (including redistribution of some of it to the land poor); and that government land management can benefit national development programmes in comparison with the general perception that Government land assets are taken as “free”, that land grabbing is common, and that there is pervasive lack of transparency, legitimacy and accountability in Government land acquisition and disposals. Another key global issue with a local appearance is the phenomenon of unsolicited development or infrastructure proposals which frequently result in disposals of prime government land to investors without considerations of transparency, value-for-money or public benefit. Recent developments involving large-scale acquisitions of farmland in Africa and similar international land deals are left out as they concern State or Public Land. According to the LSSP the demarcation, valuation and assessment of use of government properties should provide vital information for better land use planning and for improved management of Government’s land holdings. Identifying Government property and its current users can also enhance the revenue prospects for the Land sector, and enable rents to be charged and collected. The LSSP then plans to address the following issues with regard to the management of Government Land: • Determination of the extent of Government land on the ground (inventory). • Determination of the boundaries of individual holdings of Government land, i.e., adjudication and demarcation, and titling; • Management of encroached Government land (disputes) and the resolution of the rights of occupants of Government land • Resolution of conflicts between Government and Local Authorities who may lay claims on the land. • co-ordination of management of Government land between user ministries/Departments/Institutions and Uganda Land Commission • Divestiture of land that is no longer required for public use.

  • Chapter Ix. Old Melbourne Described
    CHAPTER IX. OLD MELBOURNE DESCRIBED. 1840—1843. SYNOPSIS:—Difficulties of Pedcstrianism—Early Legal Difficulties.—The Queen's Wharf—Solar Perplexities.—First Public Clock.—Early Letter-carriers. —Tardy Mail-deliveries.—First Burial Ground.—A Threatened Famine.—Early Mercantile Firms.—Jewish Residents.—Population of Colony in 1840-1.—Nocturnal Outrages.—Bill of Wants.—Sir Gcor«e Gipps' Visit.—•" Kiteflying."—The Unemployed.—Street Procession.—Open-air Demonstration.—Population of the Town. —First Executions of Criminals. —Commercial Depression.—Mr. Wentworth.—First Boiling-down Establishments.—Revival of Trade. PERSON now standing on the summit of Parliament House, and looking at the city spreading its wings, fan-like in every direction—its steeples, domes, and edifices glinting in the sunlight—the people, like bees, buzzing and busying about—the vehicles of every description, tram cars, and other evidences of active li'e thronging the streets—the whinnying and whistling of the "iron horse" as he rushes through the suburbs, and the fleet of shipping in Hobson's Bay—will smile with incredulity at my portraiture of the Melbourne of nearly half a century ago, yet it will be limned to the life without a single shade or tint of exaggeration thrown in to set off the effect. Forty odd years is such a brief period in the life of a great city, that unless the Melbourne of 1840 could be attested by an eye witness, it is difficult even to imagine the state of things then existent as compared with the present, and there never has been a stronger verification than the comparison supplies, of Burke's famous adage, that " fiction lags after fact, invention is unfruitful, and imagination is cold and barren." Melbourne in 1840 was certainly not a city, and could hardly be called a town ; nor did it even partake of the characteristics of a village or a hamlet.

  • Opportunities and Challenges for District Land Boards in Uganda
    LAND MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT Opportunities and Challenges for District Land Boards in Uganda By Walter Akena and Eugene Gerald Ssemakula 1. INTRODUCTION This policy brief originates from the training for members of statutory boards and commissions in 34 district local governments in the country undertaken by ACODE between August and October 2020. The design of the training of the Local Government Public Accounts Committee (LGPAC), District Service Commission (DSC) and the District Land Board (DLB) was a response to a series of ACODE’s scorecard findings which revealed that statutory boards and commissions were not functioning efficiently and effectively and therefore affecting the general performance of local governments. The training unearthed several issues both impeding and facilitating the functioning of statutory boards and commissions. These finding from the training are the bedrock of this policy briefing paper with a particular focus on the District Land Board 2. BACKGROUND Land is the most basic resource in terms of the space it provides, the environmental resources it contains and supports, and the capital it represents and generates. It also influences the ACODE Policy Briefing Paper Series No.56, 2020 1 | Land Management and Governance in LGs: Opportunities and Challenges for District Land Boards spirituality and aesthetic values of all human societies. Land is perhaps the most essential pillar of human existence and national development and is usually a political issue with the potential to be volatile.1 The rate of urbanization and global demand for food is escalating, and so is the pressure on natural resources.2 To guarantee security for long-held land rights and facilitate land access and use, a well-designed land policy and governance structure are of utmost importance.
