Focus on Africa: Uganda Lesson Brief, Displaced Persons and Land Rights

The following lesson brief examines the land issues confronting returnees as well as the IDPs who remain in the camps in Uganda. In 2005, between 2.1 million and 2.4 million people were displaced by conflicts in northern Uganda. With the signing of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement in 2006 and security returning to the north, the camps for the Internally Displaced Persons are now being constructed and many IDPs are returning home. The government is taking various measures to improve the situation but the land issues associated with large-scale development displacement are immense.
