| Abstract | Overview: This paper is a product of extensive literature rev iew and the findings of various research undertakings in which I have worked as a Researcher for a number of clients, but more specifically TROCAIRE Uganda -2008, Alert Internati onal – Uganda 2008 and World Bank – in a series of studies from 2006-2008. The paper r eviews, key gender issues that need to be addressed in relation to IDP return and the resumpt ion of livelihoods, but specifically singles gender issues as they present themselves in the rec overy of northern Uganda. In the first part, the key issues on gender and tenure security in nor thern Uganda are defined, the second part articulates how land administration and management is affected and shows the inadequacies in policy and law, in addressing gender and land in po st c nflict. The conclusion is drawn that the root causes of vulnerability that ultimately lead t o livelihood insecurity revolve around; tenure and property rights; rights administration and mana gement; policy and legal framework, therefore re-establishing an enduring property righ ts regime in land, requires addressing three inter-related issues. a) securing the essential ingredients of security and certainty of property rights; b) identifying potential conflicts and addressing them at their latent stage; and c) establishing a robust and dynamic institutional arr angement that handles land and biodiversity related transactions in a transparent and accountable manner |
