F.a: Promoting Land Rights and Access to Justice in Buliisa and Pakwach Districts in Uganda

General

BIRUDO is a local organisation founded in 2006 that has its office in Buliisa in Western Uganda, where international oil companies have development projects that influence the rights of the people living there. The project is aimed at contributing towards awareness on land rights and access to justice for local communities in the districts of Buliisa and Pakwach in Uganda. This will be achieved through community awareness meetings and dialogues targeting the affected community, media engagement through radio education programs, collaborative alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and capacity building of the cultural and clan leaders, area land committees and district land boards, establishing referral pathways and enhancing women's capacity to uphold and claim their rights. www.birudo.org
