The Impact Evaluation of the Improvement of Land Governance to Increase Productivity of Small-Scale Farmers on Mailo-Land will serve multiple objectives:
a) Gain better understanding of the impact of strengthening tenants' rights in Mityana and Mubembde districts. Findings are to provide critical information necessary to understand and quantify both expected impacts and risks associated with the program. Results are to be disaggregated by gender.
b) Indentify best practices as well as potential issues in the implementation process and provide recommendations to inform the design of a subsequent national roll-out to cover mail land but also similar tenure arrangements in Uganda such as Native Freeholds and Church's land.
c) Evaluation of the complementary intervention aimed at converting land inventories into certificates of occupancy (CoO)/mailo title will help indentify the best incentives for registration of CoO/mailo title as well as the benefits associated to registration vs. demarcation on key outcome variables (investment, land management, agriculture productivity).
d) Inform potential new donors' engagement in support to the implementation of the National Land Policy's strategic objectives.
