Land policies in East Africa

This conference aims at promoting scientific exchanges involving researchers and stakeholders dealing
with land issues. Participants will be invited to share their work and experiences in order to assess land
strategies and policies within a comparative framework. This conference was initiated by Ugandan and
French researchers from the Institute of Research for Development (IRD, France) and the University of
Makerere (Kampala, Uganda). Many local and international researchers in East Africa have documented
land-related issues and wider scientific exchanges are expected to stem from this meeting.
