up with trends and initiatives elsewhere in Uganda

interface between governance, human rights and
culture will be produced. CCFU will also complete
the production of a further case study on gender,
culture and the reconciliation of traditional and
modern values (the Ekisaakaate, a holiday
programme for youth run by the Buganda
Kingdom).

Commonwealth People’s Forum and in
subsequent activities to take forward some of its
recommendations, the Foundation plans to
produce a publication on ‘Beyond the 2007CPF:
what next?’, which targets civil society and other
development partners. This highlights the

‘Culture in Development: A must for equitable and
sustainable development’, reflections by the
