“’Peace through Health’ on the ground – an Ethnographic Peace Research (EPR) study of rural health workers serving refugee and host populations in Northern Uganda”
REFNo: SS1368ES

The research focuses on the roles and contributions of health workers in local processes of peacebuilding. Although frontline health workers are ideally placed to contribute towards peace and conflict resolution as first responders and key resource persons in their communities, their role in this regard has not been sufficiently researched or defined. The research aims at filling such gaps in our understanding, by exploring the experiences of health workers in- and near Arua, northern Uganda. One of the main goal of my research project is to contribute suggestions for how existing peacebuilding efforts of health workers can be supported and how their general peacebuilding potential can be strengthened.
