This paper analyses the land conflicts vis-à-vis socioeconomic development. Majorly, thepaper looks at the impact of land conflicts on economic development in Kasese district.The writer acknowledges that there are several land conflicts that have constantly marredKasese district, distablising peace, stability and economic development. This conclusion issupported by several publications reviewed by the writer. Literature reviewed also revealsthat Kasese is one of the poorest regions in Uganda with the levels of poverty standing at55.2%. Therefore, the endless land wrangles have taken a toll on development, divertedpeople’s energies and time away from developmental projects, hindered sustainableenvironmental use and led to several deaths of the able bodied who could fosterdevelopment, to mention but a few. Therefore, a critical analysis of the land issue couldcontribute to the understanding of this challenge and its solution. For this reason, thepaper finally suggests sustainable solutions to this land question.
