ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the problematics of the project: its institutional environment. A fundamental feature of the project was the multi-institutional nature of its management and operation. The final piece of the multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary jigsaw was the Project Secretariat which managed and co-ordinated the project. The Land Act Implementation Study’s (LAIS) purpose was to assist the Government of Uganda (GoU) to determine appropriate and affordable implementation priorities by examining the institutional, legal, financial and technical needs for implementation and assessing the social, economic and environmental implications of the Land Act. The centre-piece of the project, the LAIS Report, was the product of a very successful multi-disciplinary multi-national team effort that produced a first class report on time which provided the essential policy basis and analytical framework for the GoU to develop its long-term strategy for implementing the Act.
