In 2017 Uganda Community Based Association for Women and Children Welfare (UCOBAC) in partnership with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) organised five 1-2 day dialogues, engaging more than 600 participants in Kampala’s five divisions of Central, Kawempe, Makindye, Nakawa and Rubaga. The dialogues engaged multiple community representatives and discussed local experiences and problems around land, housing and public open spaces. This briefing summarises the findings and recommendations derived from these public dialogues.
