Uganda: Neglect of environmental sector threatens scorched earth
This research paper examines the marginalisation of the environmental sector in Uganda, highlighting the disconnect between the economic reliance of the rural population on natural resources and the lack of budgetary support for their preservation. It details the rapid loss of forests and wetlands, the drivers of deforestation, and the resulting social conflicts arising from 'degazetting' protected lands for industrial and agricultural use.

Leçons d’activisme citoyen en Ouganda : Sauver la forêt de Mabira
This research paper by Bashir Twesigye analyzes the 2006 citizen-led campaign to prevent the Ugandan government from granting 7,100 hectares of the Mabira Central Forest Reserve to the Mehta Group for sugarcane production. The author examines how environmental activism served as a vehicle for broader governance and accountability demands, leveraging Uganda's 1995 Constitution and the National Environment Act to successfully halt the land transfer.
