This paper presents the results of a study on property rights in land and biodiversity resources in the Acholi Sub-region. The objective of the study was to map out the changes that have taken place in the sub-region since the dawn of colonialism and how these changes have impacted on the contemporary property rights structure in land and biodiversity resources in the sub-region. As the prospects for peace in Northern Uganda have continued to become more eminent than ever before, attention is being focused on designing and implementing interventions to achieve sustainable peace and provide economic opportunities for the people of the Sub-region. However, these efforts could all be undermined or hampered by an ambiguous property rights regime.
