Life After Return – Revisiting the Reintegration of Former Lord’s Resistance Army Abductees in Acholiland Region of Northern Uganda
REFNo: SS130ES

The key objective of this study is to increase knowledge on the reintegration process in post-conflict situations in general and the reintegration of former Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) abductees in particular. This research gives voice to the former LRA abductees regarding their experiences of reintegration. The objective is to find out which factors have either promoted or prevented their process of integration back to society along the years, as it has been now a decade since the conflict in northern Uganda ended. Therefore, this study seeks to offer information on the challenges and successes that the former abductees have faced along their reintegration process, relying on their own experiences as the main source of data. In addition, one of the objectives of this study is to gather data for the investigator’s Master’s thesis.

Youth, Humanitarianism, Security, and the Future in Northern Uganda
REFNo: SS131ES

The objective of this research is to better understand how the problematic positioning of young people in post-conflict settings affects prospects for peace-building as well as social integration more broadly. In so doing, it seeks to contribute to knowledge about how humanitarianism transforms in the aftermath of war and how young people navigate some of the myriad interventions which follow. In addition, it takes care to consider these concerns from the perspective of young people themselves, paying close attention to their own attempts to generate a livelihood in their contemporary lives.

Human security among South Sudanese self-settled refugees in Uganda: strategies of access to basic services
REFNo: SS138ES

The overall objective of the study is to investigate the perception of human security, particularly in its ‘freedom from want’ form, of refugees living in contexts characterised by resource scarcity and fragility through a specific case-study focusing on South Sudanese refugees in Ugandan West Nile province. The study will focus on the access basic services (education, health, water, sanitation) of the refugee population. Attention will be paid not only to the refugee population living in refugee settlements, but also to ‘self-settled’ refugees. The project will aim to assess: - (Self-settled) refugees’ strategies of interaction with the host community and local authorities; - The link between refugees’ perceptions of human security and local governance mechanisms.
