Land tenure and governance
Security of tenure is an indispensable factor to the right to adequate housing. HFH Uganda recognizes tenure security implications related to housing arising from urban renewal, land management and post-conflicts or disaster recovery.
To improve land tenure security for sustainable housing, we sensitize community members including women on land and property rights; support vulnerable partner family heads to write wills; and help them acquire land registration certificates.
Training and partnerships
Capacity building through trainings is offered to district local government district land committees on land governance and support families have legal ownership over land.
Working in partnership with entities such as FIDA Uganda, an association of women lawyers, families are assisted to access Certificates of Customary Land Ownership. Using media, HFH Uganda conducts awareness on land matters and existing opportunities for people to have legal ownership of their land.

Promoting tenure security
Habitat Uganda is also leading efforts aimed at policy formulation that promote tenure security. During the National Housing Symposium, tenure security emerged as a key issue for the policy makers.
As part of advocacy, HFH Uganda conducted a policy review of the main policies related to housing and land governance with the aim of leading discussions for future policy consideration by the government.
