ACTIVITIES: A SNAPSHOT

Media campaign

S4HL Uganda is expanding the existing media campaign around women’s land rights, using the Coalition Lead’s vast experience in community radio, social media, TV, press conferences, and national stakeholder engagements.

Roundtable gatherings

The S4HL Uganda Coalition will convene government officials and other key stakeholders at roundtable gatherings to share pilot project lessons, best practices, and outcomes from land rights registration processes. The Coalition will work within existing multi-stakeholder platforms and national venues centered on women’s land rights and adjacent areas.

Community mobilization

At the community level, S4HL Uganda is working to integrate gender-transformative approaches in the land rights registration and land dispute resolution processes on mailo and customary land through community dialogues to identify and transform existing harmful norms limiting women’s land rights.
