'Post-conflict recovery in Gulu (North Ugandan Acholiland): Examining the impact of a decade of ex-combatant re-integration interventions on the coping strategies of communities, their social capital and the state of civil society.'
REFNo: SS243ES
This research aims to explore how viable ways of life are constituted by local communities in the North Ugandan post-conflict scenario. The post-Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) peacebuilding project by the international community in Northern Uganda has resulted in no repeat of violence since the end of the conflict. However, there has been little effort to learn from the Ugandan experience concerning the critical conditions, which enables social repair to become possible following displacement by armed conflict. This research seeks to understand how displacement and return have affected social repair through the perceptions and understandings of the local people concerned. This contrasts with the focus from the perspective of ‘ex-combatants’ in the peacebuilding literature which analyses reintegration interventions. This research focuses on an under researched area: the role of the community in the post-conflict reintegration process. The research uses a case study approach (detailed by Yin, 1989) with a focus on life histories, to examine how local communities in Gulu, often referred to as the ‘recipients’ of international projects, have negotiated reintegration and social repair through their interactions with ex-combatants. Further, the research examines how external intervention has affected the Gulu communities’ own understandings of life after conflict within a ten year period (2008-present).
