What comes to mind when you think of Uganda?

For many of us, the answer comes from news stories about poverty, conflict, or foreign aid. Those stories are not necessarily wrong. They are simply incomplete.

Uganda is also a country of more than 50 languages, remarkable landscapes, growing businesses, and people working to improve their communities. This free guide offers a closer look at the country, with a particular focus on northern Uganda and the people who call it home.

Questions Worth Asking:

• Is poverty in Uganda unavoidable?

• How has life in Uganda changed?

• What makes outside support effective in the long term?

• What does progress look like after decades of conflict?

These questions do not have simple answers. That is exactly why we created this guide.
