Scope of operation
ULA operates a multi-faceted brand of Land Rights Information Centres (LRIC) in the districts of focus. While it maintains presence in Kapchorwa, Mbale, Kibaale, Apac and Luweero being the previous areas of focus through a paralegal network, it has advanced the Apac Center to a three-in-one (i.e. a Paralegal Unit, Land Rights Desk and a Technical Support Unit). ULA has further made a stride to the North and North East; Pader, Amuru, Katakwi and Moroto districts respectively.
These centres are a one stop facility for social and legal protection for the poor and vulnerable through; provision of information on land rights, law and policy, legal aid, land rights education, and research and data collection, to inform the ULA lobby and advocacy processes at national, regional and international levels.
On board is a Women’s Land Rights Project for Mukono, Mbale, Pader, Kibaale, Ntungamo and Apac.
