Principles, Practices, Rights and Responsibilities (PPRR) 

of Customary Land Tenure in Lango Region - No.1 of 2009 

Principles and Practices to provide for rights over customary land, procedure for sale of 

land and to provide for other land-related and land incidential matters in Lango Region 

April, 2009 

English Version

The Principles, Practices, Rights and Responsibilities (PPRR) of Customary Tenure in Lango Region 

Foreword 


In Lango, over 93% of the land is under the customary land tenure system, 

to be managed in accordance with Lango principles, practices, rights and 

responsibilities (PPRR), as provided for by the Constitution. While Lango 

PPRR in land tenure management is well known amongst the Langi; its 

understanding and clarity within the new Langi generation is not as clear as 

it is with the earlier generations due to the effect of time and change. For 

some parts of Lango, the situation has been made worse by the 20 years of 

insecurity and the effects of displacement. In addition, the courts of law and 

other non Langi within Uganda and beyond do not understand with adequate 

clarity the Lango PPRR in land tenure management. Furthermore, there is 

lack of written Lango PPRR in land tenure management, leaving it to be 

passed from one generation to another through actual practices, verbal and 

folklore. 

In the face of the challenges of population increase, people returning home 

from displacement and the need for harmonisation of all stakeholders’ 

understanding of the Lango PPRR in customary land tenure system, Lango 

Cultural Foundation through its Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources 

and Physical Planning has documented the Principles, Practices, Rights 

and Responsibilities of customary tenure in Lango, with support from our 

development partners, particularly Land and Equity Movement in Uganda 

– LEMU and those who support them. We believe that it will provide a lot of 

useful guidance to our people, those involved in land management in Lango, 

courts of law, and other stakeholders. We also believe this PPRR will help to 

reduce the many problems currently faced by people with land rights under 

customary tenure in Lango such as: 

i. Boundary disputes 

ii. Land grabbing from unmarried daughters, sons born out of marriage, 

divorced women who return to parents and people who are away 

from home. The land grabbing is sometimes unfortunately done by 

the very clan members who have the responsibility to protect the 

land rights. 

iii. Irresponsible sale of land without knowledge and consent of the 

clan leaders; without considering future generations; for money for 

alcohol, luxuries and gambling; without knowledge and consent of 

the spouse, children and other family members 

iv. Sale of the same land more than once due to greed for money with 

resultant consequences that sometimes cause death.



v. Secret sale of land belonging to others, the community or public land 

such as wetlands. 

vi. Conflict caused by people who migrated and resettled in some other 

place a long time ago but return to home of origin for land to sell. 

vii. Conflict caused by the retraction of land gifts given by deceased 

relatives from other people and institutions such as health units, 

market, forest, play grounds and worship places. 

viii. The chasing from land of widows, orphans and children by some 

clan leaders, family members and neighbours 

ix. Some leaders taking land by force in the name of development but 

without giving the legally required compensation – purchase price, 

disturbance allowance and improvements on the land 

x. Conflict brought about by court rulings made without understanding 

customary land tenure. 

The challenge lying ahead is adequate dissemination to all key stakeholders; 

adherence to the PPRR and receiving necessary feedback for continuous 

improvement. 

The process of documenting and ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of the 

PPRR of customary tenure in Lango was through a Working Group consisting 

representatives of clan heads and women female clan representatives that I 

appointed, and LEMU staff. The Working Group drafted the PPRR based on 

information from over 60 clan heads. The final draft of the Working Group 

document was laid before more than 100 clan heads for ratification. 

I am hereby duty-bound to call upon all the Langi, Land key stakeholders, 

actors, Uganda Government, Local Governments, Members of Parliament, 

faith-based organizations, clans and community leaders, elders, business 

people and investors and all the people of Lango to join hands and work 

together in order to ensure that we formalise Lango PPRR in land tenure 

management in the adherence to the Constitutional provisions. To reach 

all stakeholders, we have produced the PPRR, both in Lango and the 

English languages. To the clan leaders at various levels, Civil Society 

Organisations and our development partners, we appeal for support for 

dissemination, entrenching the PPRR and gathering and giving feedback on 

its implementation to LCF at our address P. O. Box 568 Lira or through LEMU 

at their office on Plot 9 Odora Lane, Apac Town, P.O. Box 12, Apac. 

His Highness Won Nyaci Yosam Odur, 

The Paramount Chief of Lango.
