What are the advantages and disadvantages of freehold land tenure system in Uganda?

Answer 1

The freehold land tenure system in Uganda provides individuals with full ownership rights over the land, allowing for long-term planning and investment. This can lead to increased economic development and stability. However, one disadvantage is that it can lead to land speculation and concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few wealthy individuals, exacerbating inequality. Additionally, the system may not adequately protect the land rights of vulnerable populations such as women and indigenous communities.

Answer 2

Land Tenure is the name given to land that is owned by an individual or group. According to many activist groups, the land tenure system in Uganda has been the cause of many conflicts and hardships for the Uganda people. Many Ugandans use land as the primary source for their needs. Therefore, if someone else owns the land, the disadvantages are large, as the Ugandans cannot control what is planted. The advantage of the freehold land system, is that many individual Ugandans are able to own this sort of land and control how it is used.
