“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.” - Anthony Robbins

Technical Specialist in Uganda - United Nations Development Programme

Title: Technical Specialist (Governance)
Organisation: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
City Kampala,
Country Uganda

Background:
Over the past two decades Uganda has made important strides both in the socioeconomic and the political arenas, with significant progress being made in achieving the MDGs, as well as in securing peace and stability throughout the country. In the political sphere, Uganda transitioned to a multiparty democracy in 2005, after amending the 1995 Constitution to allow for the direct participation of political parties in the electoral process. These reforms have since led to an opening of political space in the country, with multiparty elections for the presidency and Parliament being held twice, in 2006 and 2011.

While these reforms have paved the way for the consolidation of multiparty democracy in Uganda, most analysts agree that additional efforts are necessary to strengthen Uganda’s institutional architecture for political dialogue, mediation and consensus-building. Advancing political reform in this direction is expected to bolster confidence in the electoral process in the country, by enabling political differences emerging from such processes to be settled and channeled through trusted institutional channels, thus minimizing the risk that they spill over into episodes of heightened political tension, public expressions of discontent or social unrest.
