The Liu Institute for Global Issues at the University of British Columbia has released a new report, entitled "A Generation at Risk: Acholi Youth in Northern Uganda." The report describes how a lack of specific governmental or non-governmental programming to target displaced youth has placed them in a particularly vulnerable situation.

Challenges faced particularly by youth include food insecurity, HIV/AIDS vulnerability, forced recruitment into the Ugandan military, abduction into the LRA, domestic violence, sexual violence, and torture. The report concludes with recommendations for humanitarian agencies and the government.
