Uganda Inception Web Seminar Report

Abstract

Co-organized by myself, Mr. Alemu Tesfaye (based at the Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa [OSSREA]) and Ms. Anne Osamba (based in Kenya), the seminar was held between 10:10am and 11:30am on Friday 26 th February, 2021. This was done on Zoom (Meeting ID: 845 14233894)—due to the ongoing Covid19 situation. In all, a total of twenty-five (25) people (10 of whom were women) participated in the seminar (although a few of these sometimes dropped out due to challenges with internet connectivity). These were drawn from a range of youth organizations in various parts of Uganda, College of Education and External Studies (Makerere University), College of Humanities and Social Sciences (Makerere University), civil society organizations in Uganda and departments of the Ministry of Local Government in Uganda. Dr. Turuphena Mukuna and Mr. Tesfaye, who are based at the OSSREA headquarters in Ethiopia, also attended the seminar.
