Resilience to ecological change in post-war Uganda

National and international policies for environmental conservation and sustainability in post-war northern Uganda can work at the expense of local needs. Along the River Agago in Acholiland, such policy interventions have fallen short of countering trajectories of environmental degradation caused by the lasting effects of violent conflict. Drawing from the research project Deconstructing Notions of Resilience, this is the first in a two-part blog series exploring the unique complexities that post-war settings add to issues of diminishing natural environments.
