The challenges encountered by government to re-integrate the UPDF veterans of Kisoro District into civilian life

Résumé

This study focused on the challenges faced by government in the re-integration of the UPDF veterans of Kisoro District into civilian life. The study utilised a predominantly qualitative design and therefore all the 134 respondents were purposively selected. Government (KDVAC and UVAB) officials and veterans were the primary respondents; local district officials and civilians were the key informants. FGDs and in-depth interviews were the techniques used to collect data. Thematic and content analysis were used to manage the data. The study findings revealed that government put up measures to ensure that the veterans of Kisoro District smoothly get re-integrated into civilian life. These measures included a resettlement program for the landless veterans, an educational/vocational training program to enable the veterans acquire locally marketable skills, a health care fund for the chronically sick veterans and financial assistance to the disabled veterans to improve on their health status and assist them set up income generating projects, assisting the veterans to acquire finance and thus engage in income generating projects and self-employment and counteracting community stigmatization of the veterans through various public relations programs.
