LEMU

LAND AND EQUITY MOVEMENT OF UGANDA

2015

Member since

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Mission

LEMU works to uphold and secure land rights for the well-being of the most vulnerable in Uganda. It envisions a Ugandan society with land tenure security and equitable land rights to make land secure for all for equitable development.

Objectives

The objectives of the organisation include to enable citizens to understand & engage meaningfully with laws, policies, and issues on land tenure and to fight against abusive practices; to reduce the vulnerability of citizens by protecting land rights and preventing their abuse; to strengthen traditional and state institutions in land management and protection of land rights, as well as to conduct research and advocacy in order to enable policy makers to support customary tenure for socio-economic development.
