Abstract
Post- land reform in Uganda has been a focal point for socio-economic transformation and governance reforms in East Africa. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis from national surveys was employed to evaluate the socio-economic outcomes of the reform initiatives. The study reveals that approximately 45% of Ugandan farmers have benefited economically from land redistribution, leading to increased agricultural productivity and income generation. Post- land reforms in Uganda have contributed significantly to economic growth and poverty reduction, particularly among smallholder farmers. Policy recommendations include the need for continued support for rural infrastructure development and sustainable farming practices to ensure lasting benefits from the reform.
