Правительство Уганды переселило 1106 семей и приобрело 2258 акров земли в рамках программы по репатриации на горе Элгон

The Government has acquired 2,258 acres of land and resettled 1,106 households under the ongoing Mt. Elgon Resettlement Programme, according to an update from the Office of the Prime Minister. The progress report, covering developments since 2024, indicates that the resettled households represent an estimated 5,530 people, based on an average household size of five people. The land acquisition is a key component of the programme, providing space for affected families to establish homes and livelihoods as Government implements its resettlement plan in the Mt. Elgon area. The programme is being coordinated through the Office of the Prime Minister and seeks to address longstanding challenges related to settlement, land access and secure livelihoods in the region. The latest figures indicate that more than 1,000 households have so far been relocated, while additional land has been secured to support the wider resettlement process. However, the update does not indicate the total number of households targeted under the programme or provide a completion date for the remaining resettlement activities. Government’s reported progress marks a continued phase of implementation of the Mt. Elgon resettlement programme, with land acquisition and household relocation forming key elements of the ongoing intervention.
