This report by the Institute for Security Studies analyzes Uganda's development trajectory toward 2040, comparing a 'Current Path' against eight sectoral scenarios. It evaluates progress across demographics, health, education, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, trade, and governance, concluding that while progress has been made, integrated policy interventions are required to meet the goals of Uganda Vision 2040.

This research paper by Juliet Nakato Odoi examines the challenges and strategies for civil society participation in Uganda's African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) process. It highlights the limitations of relying on umbrella organisations, the lack of transparency regarding draft documents, and the efforts of Minority Rights Group International (MRG) and Care International in Uganda to ensure the needs of ethnic minorities were represented in the Country Self-Assessment Report and the subsequent Programme of Action.

This monograph by the Institute for Security Studies examines the structural causes and dynamics of the war in northern Uganda, which had lasted nearly 18 years at the time of writing. The authors argue that the conflict consists of two distinct elements: a deep-rooted northern rebellion against the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government and a separate war waged by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is driven by apocalyptic spiritualism rather than conventional political goals. The report highlights how the consequences of the war, including mass displacement and a perceived war economy, have become drivers for its continuation, and it provides a series of recommendations for resolution, including a Truth and Reconciliation process and a shift in military strategy toward civilian protection.
