Advice on Implementation of Ugandan Peace Accords

OTJR co-facilitated (with Transitional Futures Africa), and provided expert technical advice to, a workshop in Kampala, Uganda, on 19-20 March 2008, which assembled international experts and representatives from the Government of Uganda, the Lord's Resistance Army and Ugandan civil society to discuss concrete implementation strategies for the components of the Ugandan peace process. In particular, the meeting focused on the best practical measures of accountability, reconciliation, disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration to ensure that the major progress made during the Juba peace negotiations translates to durable peace, stability and reconciliation in northern Uganda. OTJR continues to liaise with the goverment of Uganda, the LRA and the other parties from the workshop on the most effective approaches to these issues now that the Juba peace talks have stalled.
