    Why Land
    Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates ecosystems and communities. It builds democracy, justice, sustainability and resilience.

UCOBAC

Uganda Community Based Association for Women and Children's welfare

Member since: 2018

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Mission

UCOBAC envisions empowered communities free of poverty and able to exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms . The association aims to improve the welfare of women and children using community-based initiatives.

Objectives

The Association´s objectives are to  identify and define vulnerable women and children, their needs and priority programs; to advocate for women and children’s rights; and to enable the local communities to acquire and sustain their capacity to plan, obtain and manage resources which will improve the welfare of the communities. Furthermore, UCOBAC aims to reinforce the capacity of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to meet their objectives and improve  their welfare. 


Constituencies

Uganda Community Based Association for Women and Children Welfare (UCOBAC) is a non-partisan, non-government organization dedicated to promoting and improving socio-economic welfare of vulnerable women and children in Uganda.  The organization was founded in 1990 to serve about one million orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) in Uganda.
