"Influencers and Implications of Foreign Land Deals in East African Community: The Case of Uganda " by Osabuohien, Evans, Ciliaka Gitau, Uchenna Efobi and Michael Bruentrup Abstract Some of the factors that have been attributed to the global increase of Foreign Land Deals-FLDs include the three Fs (food, fuel and finance) crises. However, most of these empirical evidences stem from the assessment of a broad set of countries. An analysis on the main determinants (simply called influencers) across host communities within a country presents specificity and closer reality, which informs the present study. We examined the community factors that could exert significant influence on determining whether or not a community receives FLDs in East African Community (EAC), focusing on Uganda. Uganda presents an interesting case to investigate this issue because the country is one of the significant destinations of FLDs in EAC apart from Kenya and Tanzania. Taking one step further, the study investigates the possible implications of FLDs on the host communities in terms of an improvement (or deterioration) on selected community outcome variables like the quality and services relating to education, road, water and health facilities. The findings and recommendations for policy action are underscored in the study. |
