Because land is a very just because the landlord is helping hand! Why government reclaimed OPEC land For there to be a lease, there are two parties; the lessor (land owner) and the lessee (holder of user rights). The two parties are governed by the contract called a lease agreement in land transac- tions. Lease agreements have terms and conditions implored upon by either party to perform. Where one of the parties does not or fails to perform its contractual obligations, this amounts to a breach of the contract and entitles the aggrieved party to a number of remedies under the law.

  • Piloting of a Mobile Fecal Sludge Transfer Tank in Five Divisions of Kampala Martin Mawejje May, 2018
    Piloting of a Mobile Fecal Sludge Transfer Tank in Five Divisions of Kampala Martin Mawejje May, 2018 Photograph 1: Transfer tank in a slum within Makindye Division, Kampala Background Water For People in 2013 partnered with GIZ to increase access to sanitation coverage through promotion of sustainable sanitation technologies and scaling up the pit emptying business in three parishes: Bwaise I, Bwaise II and Nateete. Among the achievements of this engagement was the recruitment of six entrepreneurs, of which five are still active to-date, and development of business plans for the entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs could empty over 400 pit latrines by the end of the project period. One of the challenges to the gulper entrepreneurs and clients during the 2013 project was the high costs of gulping. The business model implemented was deemed to be more expensive for some communities, particularly due to transportation costs that are factored into the cost per trip made to dumping site, and thus borne by the client. The project recommended the need to have a system that will ensure affordable collection costs incurred by the client. A pilot test of a small fixed transfer tank system in the fecal sludge management (FSM) chain (Figure 1) which would allow transport cost savings for manual pit latrine emptying businesses was initiated. However, the project failed due to land issues that are common in Kampala. Some land owners were not authentic. In other areas, the development plans would not allow permanent transfer tanks, while hiring private land or buying is not only expensive but unsustainable. It is with this background that an idea of mobile sludge transfer tanks was conceived.

  • 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.

  • Rubaga Municipality
    FOREWORD This Slum Settlement Profile comes at an opportune time – a time when the city of Kampala is experiencing unprecedented growth in the history of Uganda. This growth and expansion is visible through the mushrooming of informal settlements across the different divisions of Kampala, especially in the low-lying areas of the city. This expansion has definitely exerted enormous pressure on land, with the poor occupying open spaces and the rich pushing the poor out of settlements for commercial and more formalised developments. The urban infrastructure (services and utilities) has not been spared as many residents demand for better quality water, sewer/ sanitation facilities, electricity, roads, security, and proper solid waste management systems. While the city still grapples with serving the existing communities, there are thousands that are flocking to the city in search of employment opportunities and better services. The invisible challenge for both the city and the communities has been lack of data/ information concerning the informal settlements, leading to a very wide gap between the plans and the priorities for the slum residents. The variables looked at in this Slum Profile include, among other factors, Security of Tenure, Housing, Water and Sanitation, Economic Activities, Accessibility, Drainage, and Solid Waste Management. Perhaps, the most outstanding and profound aspect is that this Slum Profile is not a collection of information from lawyers, teachers, doctors, or academicians, but rather ideas from the real slum dwellers who interface with the day-to- day challenges of slum life.
