Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample comprises 2995 households across 599 villages. To construct this sample, the following two steps were followed. First, in 2015 the research team worked with the MLHUD and the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) to randomly select 150 parishes in rural Western and Eastern Uganda to participate in the impact evaluation. These parishes were selected from a larger frame of rural parishes eligible for the land titling intervention and fully covered by existing detailed based maps, which will be used during the intervention for the demarcation of lands. Second, up to 9 villages per parish were then randomly selected for the survey sample. Interviewers worked with chairmen and key informants in the community to gather community-level data, and to create a listing of households in the village with information on (i) their marital status, (ii) whether the household head was in a polygamous marriage, and (iii) whether the household owned any land. Five households with husband-wife pairs were randomly sampled from this list (four monogamous and one polygamous households). The condition to be included in the sample was that the household had to own land individually and at least one parcel of land had to be without a certificate of title proving ownership. In each household only one female spouse was initially interviewed; in case of polygamous households the husband chose the wife to be interviewed.

Data Collection Notes
The main mode of data collection was the use of a structured questionnaires. In some cases, there were open ended questions in which the respondent could provide text. In many cases however the respondent was provided with coded answers from which to choose. These questionnaires were administered by enumerators who visited the homes of the participating households at a time convenient for the respondents.
Questionnaires
Questionnaires
Two survey instruments were designed to capture socioeconomic and agricultural outcomes: a household questionnaire and a community questionnaire.
The household questionnaire collected information on household members' socio-economic outcomes, household plots and parcels used for agriculture, crops grown and inputs used on these plots and parcels, perceptions and attitudes towards land tenure security, and intrahousehold decision making. Both head of the household and the spouse of the head of the household were interviewed in this survey.
The community questionnaire focused on village-level demographics, village-level economic activities and land use, and access to services and amenities. The local leader (chairperson) of the village was interviewed.
