Challenge

Uganda's long history of cycles of violence, from civil war to ethnic conflict and political unrest, continues to threaten stability today. With 78% of the population under 30, youth face unemployment, deep-rooted division, and radicalisation. Yet young people are largely excluded from peacebuilding efforts. Without safe spaces to develop leadership skills or connect across regional divides, the next generation risks becoming victims, or drivers, of the same destructive cycles.

Solution

Uganda Unites will host a Future Leaders Conference, uniting 100 young leaders from 50 schools and community centres across 6 regions. Participants will gain peacebuilding and leadership skills, bridging regional and ethnic divides. Fifty educators will be trained to sustain this work long-term. Each participant will launch a new peace club, directly inspiring over 1,000 peers, breaking cycles of violence from the grassroots up.

Long-Term Impact

Beyond the conference, 100 trained young leaders will run 50 peace clubs, reaching over 1,000 peers with peacebuilding skills. Fifty equipped educators will embed this work into schools and community centres for years to come. Over time, this growing network of champions will help break Uganda's cycles of violence, fostering a generation that chooses dialogue over division and builds lasting peace across communities.
