PEACEBUILDING

UMA believes that for peacebuilding to be meaningful and successful it must be led by local people and it must target the most vulnerable and progress towards the strongheads. The peacebuilding process can be likened to lighting a fire where one must start by lighting grass and twigs, as the twigs burn they will in turn light logs and eventually giant logs. The local vulnerable villagers are the grass and twigs, if we absorb them on peacebuilding they will inturn absorb their village heads and eventually politicians and gradually our plights will reach parliament. This is the major reason why our work is mostly centered on rural communities that are vulnerable to violence and human rights abuse.

In the near future UMA hopes to cover the whole country in peacebuilding, doing a door to door capacity building in a drive to curb all forms of violence including domestic and gender based violence.
