Forest governance in Africa; forest property rights in Uganda
Original language description
Uganda is one of the countries in Tropical Africa endowed with natural tropical rain forests. Even though Uganda's Government manages these forests on behalf of Uganda's people legally, these forests continue to decline at an alarming rate. Therefore, understanding the people's state of knowledge on property rights and other challenges facing property implementation in Uganda is paramount. Primary data of a sample size 199 were collected and subjected to statistical analysis using STATA software. There was a very high level of corruption at 82% of the respondents who agreed that there is high corruption in the land and forest management. Also, an overwhelming number of respondents said there is limited transparency in the implementation of forest property rights. Governance issues such as corruption and lack of transparency were highlighted as the primary cause of the increased deforestation. The study recommended that the government takes corruption and transparency issues in the implementation of property rights very vital and address them given the importance of property rights in resource use.
