Whats in place for their economic self sufficiency, social stability and psycho-social well - being? Could the National Transitional Justice Policy be a beacon for return and reintegration! @odokonyero_joel@OPMUganda@pwatchug@norbertmao

Greateful to have taken the leaders through case management... A learning from the mental health session is that.... poverty is the leading cause of depression. Hence we need to work together to set humanity free of poverty @odokonyero_joel@UNDP@OPMUganda
We are building capacity of 15 Sudanese Refugee Leaders of Kawempe & Entebbe in a 2 day session on case management, assessment, documentation, #GBV, mental health & peace-building. @OPMUganda & the leaders committed to promote security & peaceful co-existence thru info sharing.
It was a great moment to be part of the team, especially taking lead on how to do conflict analysis and mainstreaming transitional justice in development & humanitarian work for refugees and hosts.
Today we trained 20 policy makers in Kiryandongo on sustainable peace-building & Transitional Justice, focusing on inclusive approaches, accountability & long-term stability. @OPMUganda, @UNHCRuganda & office of the CAO committed to collaborate & work together with policy makers.

This was the day I realized that the person who learns most in a classroom is the teacher and any knowledge transfer through the Feynman Technique gives the best results for all. Hopefully, the professors and educationist adapt this model for knowledge transfer.
One of the functions of UPDF is to foster harmony & understanding - by building strong relationship with the civilian population. Why then use force? Why abuse this function enshrined in the UPDF Act? Where is the accountability?

It's a plus that we have functional National Protection Mechanisms for HRD work all we need to do is to intentionally finance them to do their work. Support the @UgandaPrisons@UHRC_UGANDA@JLOSUganda and empower the LCs, the media and the community for better protection work.
Thanks to @NCHRD_UG for convening the protection service providers training in Gulu City. Keeping something/someone safe: understanding HRD contexts, risks, threats & protection mechanisms for Human Rights Defenders (HRDs). @DigiDefenders@DefendDefenders@BarnabasOtim
Lira-Kamdini road is now super good, however a serious death trap to be urgently addressed. The road marking needs to be rectified as even in dangerous corners (like at Aber Prisons junction) the dotted lines are misleading. Absurd, I hope @assempebwa & @M_Kananura can follow up
It's alleged that this road is found in West Nile Sub- Region in Uganda & that it also connects Uganda to DR Congo. A business route &
