Help Create a Peaceful Future for Northern Uganda

On July 1st, 2008, the Ugandan Government officially launched its plan for rebuilding northern Uganda after more than two decades of war. The Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP) is a $600 million initiative aimed at helping war-affected communities return home, rebuild their lives through economic development and reconcile their broken communities.

It's an ambitious plan and a hopeful sign that the apathy and neglect that has plagued northern Uganda for the past 23 years might be a thing of the past.

That's where you come in.

If the PRDP is going to live up to its lofty goals, it's going to require a surge of funding and political will from international leaders dedicated to its implementation.

Ensuring our leaders invest in a peaceful future for northern Uganda is the best thing we can do as ordinary citizens to help contribute to a better future for the children of northern Uganda.

Take one minute and sign your name to the petition below.

Dear President Bush, Prime Minister Harper, and World Leaders: While your efforts to achieve a permanent end to the war in Uganda remain critical, there are other steps that can be taken right now to help the more than one million people displaced by this crisis. We, the undersigned, do urgently request that you act to ensure that these people - including approximately 500,000 children who have never known life outside displacement camps - can have their basic needs met and their original home areas rehabilitated to expedite the process of return. July 1st marked the launching of the Ugandan government's official plan to rehabilitate war-affected areas. We encourage you to ensure that this three-year, $600 million plan is fully funded, and that you play a strong oversight role to ensure that the funds actually meet the greatest needs. Sincerely,
