Kimeeza II Action Statement

The Global Kimeeza II ended on Monday, January 15, 2007 with the presentation and signing of the Action Statement, a two-page document that serves as both a commitment to continued action on behalf of northern Uganda by those who signed it and as a model for youth worldwide who are searching for ways to get involved in the reconstruction and reconciliation processes.

The statement includes six specific action steps, through which Kimeeza participants pledge to encourage youth dialogue on reconciliation, reach out to community and government leaders, strengthen educational programs in Uganda, uphold culture that promotes justice and peace, encourage agro-business to break dependence on food aid, and help expand microfinance and infrastructure to rural areas.
