The visit provided an opportunity to engage with key officials, including the @ministry_lands Permanent Secretary, Commissioner for Land Administration, Chief Government Valuer, Ministry Spokesperson, CSO partners, and other land officers.
Discussions focused on Uganda’s land administration system, with key highlights on the legal and institutional frameworks that support land governance, customary land registration, and the issuance of Certificates of Customary Ownership (CCOs).
