The PWYP coalition in Uganda was launched in 2008 and addresses a range of issues, from campaigning for the country to join the EITI to conducting advocacy for the publication of extractive contracts. The coalition works at community level, particularly in Karamoja, where it has promoted dialogue between communities, government and mining companies to reduce conflict over minerals. PWYP Uganda has also led work on the impact of the extractive sector on gender, particularly regarding displacement and compensation. The coalition has chapters in Bunyoro and Karamoja, and tracks whether royalties owed to communities by the government are being properly disbursed.
