In the absence of meaningful opportunities to participate socially, politically and economically, marginalized young people are strikingly creative in forging alternative places of belonging and meaning through which to express themselves. #Youth4Peace

The main strength is that we are youth-led. Young members decide how,in what way, where and when to organize certain projects. They brainstorm ideas&they are in charge of everything. These young members meet with sponsors&they negotiate wth them. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
We, the youths, are dreamers, entrepreneurs. We are victims, of course, too, and we cannot change that. But we are also everything else. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
We've got to do it, otherwise no one will do it. If we don’t engage with youth, we’re losing more of them to the battlefields. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
Young peacebuilders who are working in the conflict-affected areas are risking their lives and working for peace. There should be a mechanism for the safety of young peacebuilders. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
Take youth's participation and views into account in decision-making processes, from negotiation and prevention of violence to peace agreements. #Youth4Peace

Youth, unlike many other “unchanging” forms of identity (such as ethnicity or race), is a transitional phase of life. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
The idea of youth as a transitionary period is sometimes taken to imply that the formal markers of chronological age might be the most consistent signposts for defining young people. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
Although young people share many of the same peace and security challenges as society at large, there are unique dimensions to being young that expose young people to distinct challenges and opportunities. #Youth4Peace

Young women and young men have a critical role in promoting and maintaining international peace and security. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
Contrary to most popular representations, the majority of youth are not violent. Rather, they can - and do - play active roles as agents of positive and constructive change. #Youth4Peace
#PeaceNotViolenceUg
Across the globe, there are extraordinary young people creatively seeking ways to prevent violence and consolidate peace. #Youth4Peace

At the beginning of this year 2020 @GovUganda containment efforts in response to the COVID19 pandemic ie.lockdowns, quarantines & restrictions on labour mobility & travel resulted into downturns in most service sector activities. #StandAgainstCorruption
The effects adversely affected the economy (in addition to other calamities like floods and locusts). Indeed, according to the BoU State of the Economy report for September 2020, economic growth is projected in the range of 3.0-4.0 percent in FY 2020/21. #StandAgainstCorruption
This is in contrast to FY 2019/20 where growth was in the range of 5.5-6% with projection of growth average of 6% during 2020-2024. #StandAgainstCorruption
