Uganda has a complex land tenure system. Four tenure systems officially recognized by the 1995 Constitution coexist: freehold, Mailo, leasehold, and customary tenure. While undocumented customary tenure dominates in the country (UNPS 2013/2014 data estimates that 84% of parcels are held customarily), Mailo tenure is predominant in the central and parts of the western regions. Around 10% of Uganda’s land (in surface) is held under Mailo tenure, possibly
more.
