This indicator presents information about the level of confidence that the population of a specific country places in its legal authorities and law enforcement system as well as information about the probability of crime and violence to occur in that country. 

Inequality in land use, management, and governance especially affects already vulnerable people and marginalized communities such as women, pastoralists, youth, and smallholder farmers.

National policies prioritize economic growth through privatization and consolidation of land for big infrastructural or agricultural projects.

In addition, large-scale infrastructure projects often lead to a large number of poor households being uprooted and displaced; this has already happened in Hoima in Western region to make way for the oil refinery project. While in most cases some form of compensation is paid, it is usually late and inadequate, and people who are displaced often struggle to adapt to new locations and end up being poorer.

The Agricultural sector includes Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, Dairy, and Crop sub-sectors.

Agriculture accounts for a large share of Uganda’s export earnings and its GDP, as well as providing the main source of income for the vast majority of the adult population. Farmers, working an average of less than 3 acres (1 hectare), provide more than half of the agricultural production. They are largely based in the south, where there is more rainfall and fertile soil.

Laws such as the Land Act and the Registration of Titles Act (Cap 230) assume that landlords and tenants can always negotiate terms on a level playing field. The reality, however, is that often tenants have no voice against the wealth and power of landlords, who can make decisions with no regard for their rights.

These tenants are usually the poorest of the poor and, with their land interest dependent on the goodwill of landlords, they are at risk of being left even poorer. Thus, far from being a way of delivering people out of poverty, Uganda’s attempts at land redistribution – combined with poor land governance – have further driven a wedge between rich and poor. Land provides the only hope of getting out of poverty for many poor people. If they lose their land rights, they lose their only source of income, are unable to educate their children and their families risk remaining in poverty for generations.
