Lands minister Judith Nabakooba has laid new plans to be undertaken during the next 10 years of the National Land Policy (NLP).

The new plan was outlined on October 31 2023 as she opened the inaugural National Land Policy platform, a three-day workshop held at Hotel Africana in Kampala to review the implementation of the National Land Policy in Uganda.
