An error occurred while processing the template.
The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==> data.meta [in template "252001#252047#252845" at line 459, column 10]
----
Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it.
----
Tip: If the failing expression is known to legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??

BACKGROUND

The Uganda Social Media Conference is an annual KAS-Uganda programme that aims to bring together key stakeholders from government, civil society and the media to have a constructive exchange on the opportunities and risks of the growing social media sphere and to assess the impact it has on citizen-state engagement. Started in 2015, the conference provides a unique platform for theorizing, dialoguing and engaging on how this unique media tool can be harnessed to promote democratic consolidation and good governance.

The media evolution from print to radio, to TV and now online media has continued to inform and shape mass opinions and perceptions in society. Social media connects people in many ways and voices that were previously unheard burst to the limelight and stories of individuals are harder to suppress than ever before. The emergence of social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube that bypass the traditional gatekeeping role of media means many citizens are able to access and share information before even the media gets to the scene. The power of social media to democratize communication and remove controls is putting to test some of the long held roles of the media. Social media now enables the opinions, perception and actions of the majority who previously relied on traditional and mainstream media, to freely flow among groups.

In Uganda the last years have seen a rise in social media. Millions of Ugandans access the internet - many of them through their mobile phones - and are joining social media platforms in ever increasing numbers. With such masses of people using Facebook, Twitter and messaging apps like WhatsApp the ways we communicate and share information are fast changing. A news statement can advance from zero to a million viewers overnight. The viral nature of this highly social, user-driven environment enables complete strangers to connect over common beliefs, desires or interests.

This fast-paced communication has also put to test governments who are still operating in traditional ways. On social media Ugandans have found a voice where they can express their concerns and views on many aspects of life and have shown that for sure the internet is a powerful tool for mobilization. From cancer fundraiser drives to outpouring public outcry on many mismanaged institutions, Ugandans are rallying on social media and making a community capable of making themselves heard. The expanding platforms seem to come at a time when civic space is steadily narrowing hence playing a key role in keeping a nation in conversation with itself in the face of controls. On social media marginalized voices have found ways to speak up about their experiences which would not have happened before.

In its global engagement in the promotion of democracy and good governance, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) has a long history of promoting free and professional media through journalism trainings and scholarship programmes as well as facilitating networking and dialogue platforms. Through the Media Programme for Subsahara Africa based in Johannesburg, KAS supports journalists, bloggers and political communicators across the continent, for example by facilitating the online platform Africa Blogging.

In Uganda, KAS in July 2015 organized the first ever platform meant to focus on the political dimension of social media in the country. The 2015 Social Media Conference brought together a host of experts and professionals from civil society, media practitioners and scholars, political activists, and government officials to assess the impact of social media on political communication and civic engagement.

To further strengthen and understand the scientific perspectives on social media and political communication, KAS dedicated volume 9 of the publication series Reality Check to synthesize this new digital opportunity. Launched in January 2016, the publication unearths the theoretical underpinnings, new emancipatory potentials, the contribution of social media in the 2016 presidential election campaigns and the NGO/Civil Society perspective of social media.

The 2016 conference will continue and deepen the discussion and provide an opportunity to explore the topic in many more facettes. A great number of carefully selected experts will enrich the highly interactive panels with diverse perspectives that will stimulate participants' engagement.
