The Global Programme 'Responsible Land Policy' (GPRLP) is part of the Special Initiative 'One World, No Hunger' of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), which aims to reduce extreme poverty and hunger.
The Ugandan module of the GPRLP “Responsible Land Policy in Uganda” (RELAPU) aims to improve access to land for the rural population, especially for smallholder farmers, women and marginalized groups in the regions of Central Uganda, West Nile, Lango and Teso. To improve the documentation of land use, allowing a systematic approach, RELAPU has introduced a solution that is aimed to reduce the information asymmetry in the land sector. The so-called Land Inventory Protocols (LIPs) which document the customary and Mailo land rights by taking inventory of the existing land use. This “fit for purpose” solution constitutes an important step in the formalization of user rights, customary ownership, and property rights.
