3. GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMME
PROJECT CONTEXT- UGANDA
• The STDM intervention in Uganda commenced in July 2011 and was initiated by
UN Habitat/Global Land Tools Network (GLTN) in partnership with the
Government of Uganda (GOU) through the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban
Development (MoLHUD) and Slum/Shack Dwellers International (SDI) through
local partners; ACTogether Uganda and the National Slum Dwellers Federation
(NSDFU).
• The work began in Mbale municipality in two settlements; Bufumbo and Mission
• In a follow up phase, (2013-2014), STDM implementation was scaled up to cover
the whole of Mbale and four additional municipalities; Tororo, Masaka, Entebbe
and Arua
• Around this time, STDM was also recommended to be used to capture data in 9
other municipalities participating in the World Bank’s 6-year government program -
Uganda Support to Municipal Infrastructural development (USMID) which would
run between 2013-2018.
• In 2015, another phase of STDM implementation began in Kampala City to cover
all the five divisions; Kawempe, Makindye, Rubaga, Nakawa and Kampala Central

Tools Application in Uganda
5. GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMME
• Uncoordinated developments in urban areas
• Complex tenure types
• Inadequate security of land ownership and insecure
land–related investments; multiple and overlapping
claims to the same plots of land
• Inadequate dispute resolution mechanisms
• Increasing land evictions on registered land and
customary land
• Unregistered land rights in areas of interest to the
extractive industry ; Albertine region
• Inadequate funds for land administration
• Shortage in personnel and resources for decentralized
land management.
• Inadequate land and housing information
• Limited awareness on land ownership
KEY LAND CHALLENGES IN UGANDA

Slum areas occupy
6,389 acres
The Slum Population is
approx. 1.39 million
The City’s Population is
estimated to be 2 million

7. KEY INTERVENTIONS
a) Implementation of STDM to capture land information requirements for the
poor women and men living in informal settlements for the purposes of
improving their tenure security.
b) Capacity building of municipal councils on the use of STDM on settlements
profiling, mapping, enumerations and data processing to enhance
acquisition of land rights for the urban poor
c) Consultative forums of stakeholders for development of settlement
upgrading plans in STDM project areas.
d) Establishment of partnerships between communities and training
institutions for continuous capacity enhancement on response to urban
land challenges.
e) Exchanges for peer-to-peer learning between communities and officials to
learn and engage around urban challenges and solutions
f) Documentation of settlement planning and municipal negotiation
processes to support expansion and uptake in other parts of Uganda
8. KEY PROCESSES
• Stakeholder identification and sensitization-
through community consultations, preparation
of enumeration questionnaires
• Selection and training of enumeration teams
on participatory enumeration and mapping
using the STDM
• Structure numbering
• Household enumerations and mapping of
services (e.g. water points, schools), land
parcel sizes
• Updating of digital map
• Address Mapping
• Integrate data on STDM system
• Data analysis using the STDM
• Production of reports and print-outs
• Data verification and validation by community
and local leaders
9. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
• 14 Municipalities profiled,
mapped and enumerated;
181,604 households from
120 informal settlements
captured
• Six STDM data centers
established in Mbale,
Tororo, Masaka, Entebbe
and one (1) more is to be
established in Kampala
• Production of 3
community
Neighbourhood/ precinct
plans for Kisenyi and
Suuna settlements in
Kampala, and Kigungu
settlement in Entebbe
10. ACHIEVEMENTS
• Training of more than 100
community members on
community profiling,
enumeration and GIS mapping
• Tool implementation
instrumental in the
establishment of settlement
and municipal development
forums (MDFs) to promote
multi-stakeholder engagements
on issues of tenure rights
• ACTogether has also trained
other Civil Society
Organizations on GLTN land
tools and approaches
• Community mapping in five
settlements in the five divisions
of Kampala
11. Through negotiations with the Municipality of
Mbale, community have acquired grants from the
TSUPU and USMID projects to establish;
• 8 upgraded roads with improvement street
lightning in Mbale
• 1 road in Namboozo.
• 5 five public toilets and 1 school toilet
2 stone pitched drainage channels,
1 public sanitation facility with a community
hall and a water source in Bufumbo (Mbale)
1 double carriage road in Masaka
1 upgraded road in Kigungu-Entebbe
OUTCOMES
12. Tenure security for 181,604 households from
120 informal settlements in 14 municipalities
under USMID project strengthened through
slum profiling and mapping.
1 piece of land secured by Tororo Municipality
to construct a community center, a small built
up market, a public sanitation unit and a
water point
2,096 residents of informal settlements within
Kampala have acquired lease hold land tittles
from Buganda Land Board
In Kampala, community have lobbied for the
establishment of 1 public sanitation unit with a
community hall.
SDI alliance in Uganda identified as a key
actor in the land sector; now training other
civil society organizations on GLTN land tools
and approaches
OUTCOMES
13. • Stakeholder engagement and involvement at all levels of the project is very
paramount.
• Responsibilities and personnel on the government side shifts as a result of
human resource system of reallocating and re-assigning public servants to
other stations.
• Collaboration with various stakeholders reduces the cost of implementing the
project within a specified period of time.
• Need to establish systems for linkage of STDM outputs and other land and
housing tools at National level.
• Academic institutions should endeavor to make models such as STDM as part
of the training packages in the process of making future land and housing
professionals.
• Tools like STDM should be adopted and taken on by the state to guide
government programs, policies or land reforms
• Continued training and application of the STDM tool is needed since users tend
to forget practical applicability of the software especially users without prior
knowledge on use of software.
LESSONS LEARNT
14. • There is need to scale up STDM and related tools to other regions in
Uganda.
• Government should integrate STDM in the ongoing land information
management and registration processes
• Secure land tenure is key for sustainable Urban development
• Tenure relationship in slums/informal settlements is complex and requires
innovation
• Accurate information on Land is vital in resolving land disputes; data is
important to inform inclusive settlement planning processes
• Organized communities are key partners in implementation of Inclusive
Land policies
• STDM can be used by planning bodies and responsible authorities in
planning activities, empowerment of women and land related issues
