Summary

This Human Rights and Business Country Guide contains information regarding the potential and actual human rights impacts of businesses operating in Uganda. The information in this Guide is gathered from publicly available sources, and is intended to help companies respect human rights and contribute to development in their own operations and those of their suppliers and business partners. Uganda is currently at step 2 in the Country Guide process.The Uganda Country Guide was produced by the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) and the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR).The Country Guide is a compilation of publicly available information from international institutions, local NGOs, governmental agencies, businesses, media and universities, among others. International and domestic sources are identified on the basis of their expertise and relevance to the Ugandan context, as well as their timeliness and impartiality.The initial survey of publicly available, international sources was carried out from October to December 2014. The draft was then updated and localised by UHRC and DIHR with some interaction with local stakeholders from April to September 2015.The completed Country Guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview, on the basis of the information available, of the ways in which companies do or may impact human rights in Uganda. The current Country Guide is not meant as an end product, or a final determination of country conditions.It is intended to be the basis, and the beginning, of a process of dissemination, uptake and modification. UHRC and DIHR seek further engagement with local stakeholders, and intend to update the Country Guide on that basis.
