Northern Uganda provides ample opportunities for investment in commercial agriculture, property or tourism.

Investments profit not only investors but contribute to the development of the entire country.

But land - on which most investments take place - is a major cause of confl ict in the region. As a result of recent large-scale land acquisition for investments, there are growing concerns over the increasing magnitude of land confl icts.

To profit from promising business opportunities, it is important investors are aware of the risks and develop strategies to reduce and prevent conflict.
