Fellow Ugandans, the leadership of Uganda’s civil society congratulate each one of you upon completing the year 2013. As always we take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and most importantly to recommit ourselves to work towards building an inclusive and just economy, a strong democracy and national stability in Uganda. Since 2009, the Citizen Manifesto process has offered an important opportunity for many Ugandans to realize that as citizens we should always act based on national values and interests. This statement is informed by the Citizen Manifesto.
