NES Capacity Building

Advocacy

NLC Uganda is a consortium of non-governmental organizations advocating for land policies and laws that address the rights of the poor and protected access to land for the vulnerable and disadvantaged groups/individuals

The Consortium organizes campaigns to advocate for women’s interests on land ownership and revive the Women’s Land Rights Movement.

Capacity Building

NLC Uganda through its members like LEMU  works on customary land governance.

LEMU has worked with a number of communities to document their own rules regarding the management of their communal land. Documenting the agreed Principles, Practices, Rights, and Responsibilities (PPRR) reduces the potential for conflict within communities, promotes cohesion, and enables community members to clearly articulate their agreed rules.
