Title: Shortcomings to overlapping land rights and a way forward : the case of Mailo land in Central Uganda
Abstract: Uganda has a complex land tenure system. Four tenure systems officially recognized by the 1995 Constitution coexist: freehold, Mailo, leasehold, and customary tenure. While undocumented customary tenure dominates in the country (UNPS 2013/2014 data estimates that 84 percent of parcels are held customarily), Mailo tenure is predominant in the central and parts of the western regions. Around 10 percent of Uganda's land (in surface) is held under Mailo tenure, possibly more.
