The Fund for Peace Event
October 4, 2011
3.00 pm - 4.30 pm
Washington, D.C.

In February Ugandans reelected President Museveni to a fifth term in office by a landslide. A few weeks after the election, massive protests over the government’s management of the economy broke out in cities across the country and sometimes turned violent. Since then, the protests have subsided, but food prices remain high and segments of the population still feel politically disenfranchised. This context poses a challenge to continued progress for democracy and human rights in Uganda.

UNLocK Uganda is a project that engages with civil society organizations to monitor the political, economic, social and security landscape from a local perspective for conflict early warning and prevention. Please join us for a briefing by Denis Okema, the opposition Uganda People's Congress candidate for Gulu Municipality MP, who will describe the events of the last year and his perspective on Uganda’s current direction. Nate Haken will summarize the results of work by the wider UNLocK Uganda network.
