Masindi District restored 4,250 hectares of land, secured 15 government land titles and registered progress in wealth creation programmes during the 2025\/2026 financial year, according to the district’s State of the District Address.<\/p>\n

District Chairperson Patrick Wobusobozi highlighted the achievements while presenting the report during a council session at the district headquarters.<\/p>\n

Wobusobozi said the district had continued working with communities to combat wetland degradation, restore degraded land and promote the sustainable use of natural resources.<\/p>\n

“The restoration efforts are intended to protect the environment and preserve natural resources for future generations, while the acquisition of 15 government land titles is expected to strengthen the protection of public assets against encroachment and land disputes,” Wobusobozi said.<\/p>\n
