Pact's work in Uganda has fostered peace and reconciliation among historically divided groups, improving people's safety and quality of life both within the country and in neighboring nations. With communities, we've strengthened conflict-management systems, built the capacity of regional and national institutions to stem cross-border conflict, helped to rehabilitate former fighters and constructed "peace dividends," such as health and water facilities, to increase positive interactions among divided groups.

Currently, Pact works with mining communities in Uganda, using the ITSCI mineral traceability system to assure mineral supply chains as conflict-free. Pact leads field implementation for ITSCI, the region’s only internationally accepted, operational due diligence mechanism and mineral traceability system for tungsten, tin and tantalum.
