            Thank you Geoffrey,<br>

            My opinion would be, they record coordinates of different
            land portions<br>
            especially at the corners, have the recorded at the NGO's

            A colleague of mine who works at the Makerere GIS lab did
            something<br>

            <br>
            Personally I am doubtful if mapping will solve to underlying
            resource<br>
            conflicts and different livelihood styles, but it might be a
            first step.<br>
            Note though that any kind of formalization of land-owner
            ship is<br>
            ultimately a advantage for farmers (usually the richer ones)
            and a<br>
            disadvantage for pastoralists that depend on communal land
            (especially<br>

            This would be really a great idea to think about and
            actually implement.<br>
            But it will still need to bring the land board on in order
            to make it<br>
            really practical.<br>
            Already a similar solution is running.  If there was a way
            and am sure<br>
            there is a way to integrate OSM with the maps being used by
            the land board.<br>

            Hello,<br>
            sorry not for answering earlier.<br>
            We did some work in the north, as Kris mentioned. However,
            we will start<br>
            soon (hopefully) a new pilot project to map landownership.
            Additional<br>
            information will be captured to build up an info-system.<br>

            Hi Geoffrey,<br>
            <br>
            OSM can help greatly in mapping the situation as-is. Where
            the roads, rocks,<br>
            trees etc etc are.<br>
            <br>
            It can then be used to put the discussion about legal
            boundaries in context of<br>
            the real world. OSM, by nature of being open, is not
            suitable to actually<br>
            manage disputes.<br>
            <br>
            just my 2 cents.<br>
            <br>
            Rgds,<br>
            <br>
            Reinier<br>
