Chapter 1 introduces six myths regarding nongovernmental organizations (NG0s): NGOs have the capacity to reach the poor and vulnerable; NGOs are better placed than governments to address the needs of the poor and vulnerable; NGO work is characterized by innovation and flexibility; NGOs have greater potential than government bureaucracies in empowering people at the grassroots to achieve self-reliant development; African NGOs are people's organizations; and NGOs complement governments' development efforts. These are among the topics discussed in chapters 2-12, which systematically expose each myth, are as follows: ownership of the AALAE; organizational dysfunction; roots, causes, and essence of the AALAE's current crisis; action by donors and partners; the AALAE audit; issues uncovered; and lessons learned.

  • Traditional Cultural Institutions on Customary Practices Of
    Tradition?! Traditional cultural institutions on Customary Practices in Uganda1 Joanna R. Quinn2 Working paper. Please do not cite without permission. Transitional justice is concerned with how societies move from conflict to peace or from authoritarian regimes to democracy—by dealing with the resulting questions of justice and social healing. Among the “tools” that theorists and practitioners of transitional justice have at their disposal in restoring social cohesion after conflict are customary methods of acknowledgement. While such practices have not yet become part of the mainstream, in as much as truth commissions and tribunals have, evidence of their utility in several societies is beginning to appear. The use of these traditional practices of acknowledgement in Uganda is widespread. Each of the 56 different ethnic groups across the country has at some point relied on such practices. This paper explores the attitudes of the leaders of the newly-restored traditional cultural institutions toward these practices. It further assesses the agency of traditional cultural institutions in their use. This analysis is carried out in the context of the ever-turbulent political situation in Uganda, and of the sordid legacy of conflict in that country. 1 A paper prepared for presentation at the Annual Convention of the International Studies Association, 16 Feb. 2009, New York, USA. Research for this project was carried out with assistance from the United States Institute of Peace (SG-135-05F), with research assistance from Stéphanie Anne-Gaëlle Vieille. 2 Joanna R. Quinn is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict Research Group at The University of Western Ontario.

And Guest Researcher of the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. E-mail: [email protected]; Tel: Office: +256 0471432922, Mobile: +256772462901 Accepted 07 October, 2013 When, on 19 th June 1979, newly installed President of Uganda Professor Yusufu Lule, announced plans to reform recruitment into the armed forces to reflect the ethnic composition of the country, he was ousted by the army the next day. His successor, Godfrey Lukongwa Binaisa, made a similar mistake and attempted to end the hegemony of northerners in the military, by removing army Chief of Staff Brigadier Oyite Ojok. He also suffered a coup. The lesson Ugandans learned was that the century old military ethnocracy in the country could not be ended by a mere stroke of the pen. It required a protracted people’s struggle, which explains why Yoweri Museveni succeeded in 1986 where Lule and Binaisa had failed in 1979 and 1980 respectively. This paper illustrates the growth and metamorphosis of a military ethnocracy in Uganda, and how it was defeated through a popular people’s resistance. Keywords : Nationalism, Military, Ethnocracy, Bantu, Nilotics, Acholi INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The different communities that British colonial forces Martial race was a designation created by army officials amalgamated to form Uganda were of three different of British India after the mutiny of 1857, where they ethno-linguistic groups namely the Sudanic, Nilotics and classified each ethnic group into one of two categories, Bantu (Lwanga-Lunyigo, 1987: 2).

  • THE BACKGROUND to POLITICAL INSTABILITY in POST-AMIN UGANDA Balamnyeko
    UfAHAMU 1 1 THE BACKGROUND TO POLITICAL INSTABILITY IN POST-AMIN UGANDA BalamNyeko The political situation in Uganda since the overthrow of the Idi Amin regime in April 1979 has been described by various commentators as one of "un-ending muddle", "extreme political instability", and "a continuing search for national leadership and control" .1 The record certainly attests to this characterization of the position. Four governments in the flrst two years, a controversial general election in December 1980, a coup fout and a half years later following a long guerilla resistance war throughout the life of the second Obote regime, the abortive peace negotiations between the short-lived Tito Okello government and Yoweri Museveni's National Resistance Army (NRA), the assumption of power by the latter in January 1986, the outbreak of anti-NRA military activities in northern Uganda in August 1986 and large-scale cattle rustling in eastern Uganda in October, followed shortly by the arrest of three Cabinet ministers and former Vice-President Paulo Muwanga for allegedly plotting to overthrow the Museveni government - all this suggests surely that in 1986, as in 1962 at the attainment of independence, Uganda is still as far away from a universally accepted national leadership as ever. The continuing instability in Uganda is a clear indication of the Ugandan people's failure, so far, to achieve any form of national consensus since the demise of the Amin government. This essay seeks to provide an interpretation of the events of the past seven years since Amin's exit in the light of Uganda's recent 1 "Uganda: The Wrestling Continues··.

    Makerere University Faculty of Arts, Department of Religious Studies M.A. Peace and Conflict Studies Programme Civil Society Consultative Conference on “Paving the Way for a Sustainable Reconciliation Process in Uganda” February 12-14, 2007 Speke Resort Munyonyo organized by M.A. Peace and Conflict Studies Programme Department of Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts, Makerere University in conjunction with Coalition of Organizations and Institutions working towards sustainable Reconciliation in Uganda (CORU) April 2007 PAVING THE WAY FOR A SUSTAINABLE RECONCILIATION PROCESS IN UGANDA Foreword By Dr. Alex Nkabahona It is an honor and a privilege for me to write the foreword to this summary report of the proceedings and deliberations of a three days civil society consultative meeting on national reconciliation in Uganda. What the readers of this report may not know is that what took place on 12th-14th February 2007 has its origin in an idea that was nurtured after the writer read an ar- ticle in one of the local papers some time in October 2005. The article, posted from Boston USA carried a photo of Ugandans living in the USA who had convened in Bos- ton to demonstrate against unfolding events in the country leading up to the then projected national elections of February 2006. They carried placards one of which read: Ugandans must Reconcile Now. To me this was inspirational and soon after constituted the first “Think Tank” committee of seven students on the MA Peace and Conflict Studies Program, namely Businge Sam, Magambo Tom, Angelina Twinomu- juni, Sheenah Judith, Bangirana Narcisio, Andema Sam and Monica Aciru, to spear- head the process of organizing the conference on national reconciliation.
