About the Project: This study broadly explores the impact of conflict on internally displaced peoples in the Acholi region of Uganda, focusing on the changes to family structures as a result of conflicts in the region between 1986 and 2008. The project aims to examine the policy implications of these changing family structures for nation-building, thereby contributing to work currently underway to advance implementation of Uganda’s National Transitional Justice Policy, given that nation building is one key pillar of this policy.
