Rebuilding communities after conflict: the role of non-state actors in the Rwenzori region, Uganda
by William Muhumuza
African J. of Economic and Sustainable Development (AJESD), Vol. 3, No. 2, 2014

Abstract: The article looks at humanitarian interventions by non-state actors (NSAs) during and after the ADF insurgency, an intra-state conflict, in post-independence Uganda. It examines why the ADF insurgency in the Rwenzori region received little publicity and national and international humanitarian assistance. It explains why government prioritised restoration of security and legitimate state control but paid less attention to humanitarian intervention and post-conflict rebuilding of communities affected by conflict. The article further explains why NSAs have increasingly intervened in Uganda's conflict situations. It assesses the impact of NSAs during and after conflict, their downside, and suggests reforms that are necessary for their effective performance.
