The Role of Global Health Diplomacy in Achieving Peacebuilding in Post-Conflict Northern Uganda
REFNo: SS3590ES
In this context, the thesis will examine the use of global health diplomacy, which aims to bridge the disciplines of public health, international relations, and public policy, as a peacebuilding instrument in northern Uganda. With numerous health initiatives such as those that addressed the increasing incidence of HIV/AIDS and Ebola during the civil war between 1986 and 2006, and psychosocial programs following the conclusion of the war, there is scope to determine whether these health initiatives contributed to the cessation of violence and ultimately, peacebuilding. This thesis will arrive at this determination by assessing if health initiatives implemented in northern Uganda during and after the conflict fostered social cohesion and afforded Ugandans, particularly women, agency or the opportunities to follow through on their choices. The twenty-year conflict in northern Uganda provides an effective context for this thesis because the violence was largely a product of its political and social history (Kustenbauder, 2010). The violence had ethnic and religious dimensions as well, with academic literature on the subject suggesting that the largest rebel group fighting the national army, the Lord’s Resistance Army, viewed its struggle against the government of Uganda as a divine cause, which was guided by God through its leader, Joseph Kony (Van Acker, 2004). Against this political and historical backdrop, this thesis will aim to determine if global health diplomacy was able to, in whole or in parts, achieve peacebuilding objectives in northern Uganda.
