Forest tenure reform implementation in Uganda: What lessons for policy and practice?
In this interview, Hillary Agaba, director of Uganda’s National Forestry Resources Research Institute, speaks about the importance of forests to local livelihoods, the importance of community access to forest resources, and of research on the implementation of land and forest tenure reforms that affect these. These, he argues, can help address the crucial issues of deforestation and forest land degradation, while helping to ensure sustainable forest management and on-farm technologies that reduce pressure on forests. The video is part of a series on the implementation of forest tenure reform in Uganda, which emerged from the Global Comparative Study on Tenure Reform, led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
