The Uganda-CAN Interview Series seeks to emphasize local perspectives on peace efforts and encourage debate about important issues related to the conflict in northern Uganda. In our second interview, done in collaboration with the Global Youth Partnership for Africa, we spoke with Geoffrey Oryema, the founder and director of the Acholi Youth Leadership Program (AYLP) in Gulu. The AYLP seeks to sensitize the Acholi community about the problems Acholi youth face and to empower youth to address and overcome the challenges of living in a society torn by over twenty years of war.
