We are pleased to share Landesa’s 2023 Annual Report with you. At Landesa, we are honored to have assisted 720 million people in just the past five years on a path toward equitable and secure land rights. These rights lay the groundwork for women advocating for gender justice, Indigenous Peoples protecting their forests and cultures, and coastal communities mitigating and adapting to climate change. Secure land rights are an assurance for the future—offering peace of mind and the ability to use your land to shape your destiny. With strong rights to your land, you can fill in the blank with what land means to you.
Everlyne Nairesiae, Landesa’s Africa Region Director, is quoted by UG Standard on why there must be demand and increased attention to protect women’s human rights in the context of their access to, use of, and control over land in Uganda.
