Abstract

The learning alliance (LEA) is youth-led with the aim of youth being given the space and voice to express themselves as change agents. The participants of the Uganda Learning Alliance came from three counties where the research took place: Gulu, Mayuge and Kampala. The Learning Alliance (LEA) workshop in Kampala was organized based on the research findings, a LEA guide note (attached as an annex in this report along with the LEA workshop manual). Brief presentations on various issues concerning youth engagement in preventing and countering violent extremism were made. This report outlines the workshop programme, discussion activities and outcomes.
