This project involves a Country Case Study on Land Inequality, Climate Change and Food Security Nexus. The objective of this research is to gather evidence for a case study that will explore the inter-linkages between land inequality, climate change andfood security. The case study aims to provide an analysis to CSOs and communities, with a gender approach, on how land inequality manifestsin their country and how it is linked to and impacted by climate change and food security. It will provide the evidence base for advocacy with the national government and other stakeholders. It will feed into our ongoing work around land inequality and land and climate nexus. Land inequality is a key issue of Oxfam and we have been engaged in the land inequality initiative led by the International Land Coalition (ILC). In 2019, the ILC commenced the first phase of the land inequality initiative which focused on collective research that culminated in the launch of a flagship report Uneven Ground which is co-branded with Oxfam. The second phaseof this initiative intends to support advocacy and campaigning efforts at national and international level. It is expected thatthis research will contribute to the body of evidence available within the land inequality initiative for global level work onthe issue. It is also expected that the research solidifies land inequality as a core issue for Oxfam and link it with climate change which is one of the key priorities of Oxfam. Through the Tightening the Netreport, we explored how the net zero targets of governments and companies which are heavily reliant on using vast extents of lands in low-income countries to capture carbon emissions, would lead to an explosion in the demand for land, increasing land inequality and hunger. This research is expected to provide evidence on how this takes place on the ground. This project will contribute to Sida2GROW Pathway 3 work on land rights, and specificallyto towards the intermediary outcome 3.2 greater globalaccountability to uphold international benchmarks on land rights is built. This will be done through a research that will explore the inter-linkages between land inequality, climate change and food security, agreater understanding of which will enable civilsociety organisations to advocate with their national governments for required legal and policy change and accountability.

SIDA II GROW - Transforming the food system to eradicate hunger and fight inequality. Uganda. Uganda is considered one of the world's most vulnerable and least climate-resilient countries (National Adaptation Plan 2015). Changing climate patterns, such as increased droughts, floods and variable precipitation cycles, have a serious impact upon water and other natural resources, agricultural production and rural livelihoods. Climate change has also hard a diverse effects on land use and land resources which has had a directnegative impact on small holder farmers and more especially women who depend on land as the means of production hence accelerating high poverty levels as incomes from agricultural production is increasingly receding. Uganda has several laws, policies, plans, programs, and strategies that favor sustainable agriculture including the National Environmental Management Policy National Land Use Policy (NLUP 2007), the National Policy for the Conservation and Management of Wetlands Resources, National Land Policy, the draft Uganda Organic Agriculture Policy 2009, the Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction policies etc. Uganda is also party to several international frameworks including the Paris agreement, Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP), Sustainable Development Goals, the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) among others. However, the implementation of these laws, policies and international undertakings has been problematic with several commitments unfulfilled. Oxfam in Uganda is proposing influencing the government of Uganda, regional bodies and global governments for adequate financing for climate adaptation models for small holder food producers especially women and youths. We would like to see effective implementation of climate change, agriculture and land policies in the best interest of female small-scale producers and youths. This will include transparency in handling climate adaptation and land resources and resourcing from international sources inclusive budgeting at local and national levels. We would like to see responsible adaptation planning and intentional increased budget allocation to theagriculture sector as well as robust land tenure system that supports small scale food producers capacities. We propose capacity enhancement for govt agencies, community groups, CSOs to be able to effectively advocate for increased Investment in climate adaptation models/approaches that enhance food production among small scale female producers and youths. We will engage the wider public through digital, radio, media and off-line sensitizations and campaigns to demand for increasing financing of adaptation in the agriculture as well as a secured land tenure system that protects small scale female food producers. Other initiatives will include a people#s parliament live televised debate on issues around climate change, impact and the action that people want from the government, and human stories of famers and climate resilience.
