Welcome to the website of the Uganda Law Reform Commission.

In April 2011, His Excellency the President appointed a new Commission comprising of myself and six Commissioners who serve on a part-time basis. The mandate of the Commission is to study and keep under review the laws of Uganda with a view to making recommendations for their systematic improvement, development, modernization and reform.

The commissioners have brought new ideas, immense experience, and great dedication to their roles and the Commission has picked up momentum quite fast.The Commission is served by a Secretariat of about 70 staff headed by the Secretary and, directly under him, the heads of our three departments: law reform, law revision, and finance and administration. We pride ourselves on the work ethic of our staff who perform their duties with a high level of professionalism and dedication and achieve highly positive results. We are grateful to our many friends and stakeholders without whom our work would not be possible: the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS), and more broadly the Government of Uganda and other government agencies; non-state actors; external organizations,
for instance sister Law Reform Agencies and the organs of the East African Community; and members of the public who participate in our numerous surveys and to whom we are ultimately accountable.Looking forward, we wish to make a significant contribution as Uganda consolidates its democracy, human rights and the rule of law as well as tapping the full economic potential of our beautiful country.The Commissioners and I invite you to get familiar with our organization and make a contribution to the development of the laws of our country.

Prof Agasha Mugasha
Chairperson
Uganda Law Reform Commission.
