Some of the factors that have been attributed to the global increase of Foreign Land Deals (FLDs) include
the three Fs (food, fuel, and finance) crises, among others. However, most of the empirical evidence stems
from the assessment of a broad set of countries. An analysis on the main determinants across host communities
within a country presents specificity and closer reality. This chapter contributes by examining
the community factors that could exert significant influence on determining whether or not a community
receives FLDs in East African Community (EAC), focusing on Uganda. Uganda is an interesting case
to investigate because the country is one of the destinations of FLDs in EAC, apart from Kenya and
Tanzania. Taking it one step further, the chapter investigates the possible implications of FLDs on the
host communities in terms of improvement (or deterioration) on selected community outcome variables:
the quality and services relating to education, road, water, and health facilities.
