Resolve Uganda
Resolve Uganda began as the Uganda Conflict Action Network (also referred to as Uganda-CAN) and was an online monitoring and analysis project seeking to raise awareness of the suffering caused by the Lord's Resistance Army insurgency of northern Uganda. The campaign began in 2005. In early 2007, Uganda-CAN became Resolve Uganda, a full-scale organization aimed at securing the US leadership needed to end the war through grassroots efforts and lobbying initiatives.
==History==
Two University of Notre Dame students traveling abroad in Uganda formed the Uganda Conflict Action Network in 2005.〔Jones, Ingrid J. "AFJN Launches Uganda Conflict Action Network." Uganda Watch. 11 June 2005.〕 While overseas, Peter Quaranto and Michael Poffenberger became aware of the 19-year-long warfare atrocities caused by the Lord's Resistance Army. This hidden war left thousands of people dead, over 25,000 children abducted, and roughly 1.6 million people in camps of horrific conditions.〔P. Quaranto. "Help End the Hidden War in Northern Uganda" World Learning. 2 June 2005〕
Inspired by the suffering of the oppressed Ugandans, they worked together to create Uganda-CAN upon their return to the states. Quaranto and Poffenberger recognized the influence that Americans could have on the Ugandan government to bring a peaceful resolution to the war. The (Africa Faith and Justice Network ), based in Washington, sponsored the organization.〔Jones, Ingrid J. "AFJN Launches Uganda Conflict Action Network." Uganda Watch. 11 June 2005.〕 The purpose was to educate policymakers about what was taking place, with the hope that increased awareness amongst political leaders would lead to the action necessary to end the crisis.〔Who We Are, Our Origins. TheResolve.org Retrieved 2012-03-19〕 Uganda-CAN advocated peace and the renewal of the Great Lakes region of Africa, while stressing the importance of a government that answers to the needs of its most vulnerable citizens.〔'Uganda Conflict Action Network" Human Security Report Project. 25 Oct. 2005. Web.〕 The staff and volunteers of Uganda –CAN have worked to form partnerships in Congress and with other African related organizations in Washington as well as Ugandan organizations.
