The Ndungu Report covers ten other forests as well as other public land, ranging from road reserves to cemeteries to public toilets and even State House land. As we cover these in future issues of the series, the cumulative loss will certainly be astounding.

A Review of the Oil and Gas Policy and Legal Framework for Uganda
Documents de politique et mémoiresseptembre, 2006OugandaIn this oil research paper, we have set out the challenges confronting oil producing countries in sub-Saharan Africa by giving case studies of Nigeria, Angola and Equatorial Guinea.

Library ResourceDocuments de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2006Global
In recent years, growing economic globalisation has been accompanied by rising social support for market systems as a means of managing resource-use.

Global policies for managing the Earth’s genetic resources have been influenced by this approach.
