  • Amuria District Local Government
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA AMURIA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FIVE YEAR LOCAL ACTION PLAN (LAP) ON ENDING ALL FORMS OF CONFLICTS AND VIOLENCE 2021-2025 JANUARY, 2021 SUPPORTED BY: THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA AMURIA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FIVE YEAR LOCAL ACTION PLAN (LAP) ON ENDING ALL FORMS OF CONFLICTS AND VIOLENCE 2021-2025 JANUARY, 2021 SUPPORTED BY MAP OF AMURIA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOREWORD The Government of Uganda is committed to the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda as enshrined in United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. The framework provides an opportunity for strengthening women’s participation and involvement in the promotion of peace and security within the context of conflict and conflict transformation. The Uganda National Action Plan (NAP) III for implementation of the WPS agenda lays emphasis on elimination of all forms of conflicts and violence including Gender-Based Violence (GBV) from society. Amuria District Local Action Plan (LAP) therefore domesticates the Uganda NAP on UNSCR 1325 tailoring it to the conflict issues in the district. This LAP was developed in a participatory manner involving both the district and the sub county leaders, political, technical, religious, and cultural leaders, civil society, teachers, and the media. The stakeholder involvement has already strengthened ownership of the LAP and will be instrumental in its implementation. I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate UN Women and Norwegian Embassy, Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) and Coalition for Action on 1325 (CoACT) and Teso Women Peace Activists (TEWPA) for the both financial and technical support rendered to our district that enabled Amuria district to develop a Local Action Plan-II.
