    Large-Scale Land Acqusitions for Investment in Uganda Samuel B Mabikke Large-Scale Land Acquisitions for Investment in Uganda: Can it Yield Equitable Benefits for Smallholder Farmers? Presented at the Sixth Annual conference Theme: “Foreign Land Acquisitions in Africa: Implications for Trade, Investment and Development Policies” 24 – 25 November 2011 Arusha, Tanzania Samuel B Mabikke1 The views contained within do not necessarily represent those of trapca or its partners. 1 Chair of Land Management, Technische Universität München, Arcisstrasse 21, D-80333, Munich, GERMANY, E-mail: [email protected] i Large-Scale Land Acqusitions for Investment in Uganda Samuel B Mabikke Abstract By 2 Samuel B. Mabikke Technische Universität München, Germany Email: [email protected] In the wake of the increasing food prices and the subsequent Global Financial Crisis (GFC), with over one billion people going hungry, Large-Scale Land Acquisitions (LSLA) have attracted considerable interests in developing countries. The purchase or lease of land by wealthy, food-insecure nations and private investors from mostly poor, developing nations in order to produce food crops for export is gaining momentum. In the attempt of fighting poverty, create employment and transform agricultural development, many developing countries have attracted investors with promises of making big land offers or leases for investment. In turn, host countries are promised positive investment returns in agricultural development, infrastructure, education, and employment creation. However, evidence shows that little or none of these promises made by investors are fulfilled yet land and water rights, food security and livelihood of local people remain at stake. It is estimated that between 15 and 20 million hectares of farmland in developing countries have been subject to transactions or negotiations involving foreign investors since 2006.

A couple of years and mentoring exer- cises later, not only did I find that the world of academia had a completely different set of principles defining its values and character but also that a dissertation had its own life. My children, family and I chose to adapt our lives to the many demands of this dissertation. The path was far from easy but we were all determined to keep going and I must say we enjoyed the rollercoaster ride.
