Uganda: Disagreement over new government strategy

Okello Abbino, who has lived in Padibe camp for displaced people in Kitgum district for nine years, has never heard of the Ugandan government’s new strategy to redevelop the war-affected region. "Let them first end the rebellion, then we can talk about development," he said. "How do we start redeveloping the region when it is not yet safe?" Coordinated under the joint country coordination and monitoring committee on northern Uganda, the new strategy was unveiled on 20 March.
