Wo liegt der Schlüssel für die Dezentralisierung? Bei den lokalen Regierungen!

"Es gibt nicht viele Länder, die in Sachen Dezentralisierung so stark sind wie Uganda. Aber es ist geht nicht nur um Quantität, sondern auch um Qualität. Es liegen noch einige Herausforderungen vor uns, wie beispielsweise die mangelnde Kapazität um die Dezentralisierung voranzutreiben. Lassen Sie uns diese Konferenz nutzen, um uns zu verbessern.“ sagte der KAS Landeskoordinator Mathias Kamp während des ULGA Dezentralisierung Dialoges vom 16. bis 18. September in Kampala.

“What is another name for decentralization? Local government.”

“There are not many countries that are as strong as Uganda when it comes to Decentralization. But it's not only about quantity but about quality. There are still some obstacles like lacking capacity to implement decentralization. Let use this conference to improve." said KAS Country Director Mathias Kamp during the ULGA National Dialogue on Decentralization held between 16th until the 18th September in Kampala.

"Kultur ist das Einzige was uns davon abhält, uns gegenseitig zu töten!"

Im Südsudan wird die kulturelle Vielfalt oft als eines der Hauptprobleme im andauernden Bürgerkrieg identifiziert. Kultur ist jedoch auch eines der am meisten unterschätzten sozialen Werkzeuge zur Konfliktlösung. Aus diesem Grund kamen Mitglieder verschiedener südsudanesischer Gruppen in Kampala zusammen, um über die positive Rolle der kulturellen Vielfalt im Südsudan zu sprechen.

South Sudanese advised to practice inter-tribal marriages

In South Sudan, cultural diversity is often identified as one of the main problems in the ongoing civil war. Yet, culture is also one of the most underestimated social tools in conflict resolution. Because of this, members of different South Sudanese groups came together in Kampala to talk about the positive role of cultural diversity in South Sudan and how to use it to make the freshly signed Khartoum Declaration work.
