Uganda Land Alliance is a registered national civil society consortium of organizations and individuals founded in 1995 during the Uganda Constituent Assembly. It made input into the recognition of customary tenure and women’s land and property rights in the Constitution of Uganda, 1995.

In realizing the vision, ULA is guided with a mission statement to “enhance access, control and ownership of land by the poor women, men, children and marginalized groups through the promotion of fair land laws and policies”.
