Project Details
Description
The TrustLand project approaches issues of governance and trust by focusing on land disputes in Northern Uganda and attempts to mediate them.
The research examines links between land, trust/mistrust and governance with emphasis on gender and generation. Drawing on a case based approach the project explores how differently positioned people manage, mitigate and engage conflicts in a setting of co-existing formal and parallel legal authorities. Issues include: claims to land and descent; women’s rights to land and security; individual and communal rights in relation to commercial interests in land; the discourses of traditional vs universal human rights in relation to property.
