The Government of Uganda (GoU) and development partners have continued to support reconstruction of northern Uganda. Over the past two decades, GoU proactively attempted to address the post conflict problems, rural poverty, extreme levels of vulnerability, poor service delivery, low agricultural productivity, social exclusion and weak local governments through a variety of policies and programs. With the emergence of peace following peace talks with LRA, the GoU launched the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP 2007/8-2010/11) for northern Uganda to respond to the reconstruction needs of the region. The PRDP was to contribute to return and resettlement of the 1.6million Internally Displaced People (IDP) including the youth.
UPFYA organized an inter-sectoral coordination meeting on NUSAF3 and PRDP successor programs under the theme “role of youth in Public Procurement process under the Successor programmes” on 08th December at MacKinnon Suites.
