Assessing the adequacy of compensation made under compulsory acquisition in Uganda
Abstract
Fair compensation for compulsory acquisition of land is the amount received by a local
person in return of a piece of land that should restore him/her to the original position in that
this person should neither gain nor lose because of the works. (Guidelines for compensation
under land acquisition in Uganda, June 2017). The philosophy behind adequate compensation
is that the local person should know what the local prices really are.
