The Government of Uganda has prioritised equitable access to productive land, sustainable natural resource management, and integrated landscape planning as key pathways for economic growth, poverty reduction, and industrialisation. One of the most critical landscapes under pressure is the Mount Elgon ecosystem, which supports nearly four million people. This mountain region provides essential goods and services — biodiversity, watersheds, and livelihoods — but faces severe challenges from land degradation, unsustainable farming, and climate change.
