Advisors

Betty Oyella Bigombe

Betty Bigombe is best known for her work as “chief mediator” in the northern Uganda conflict. She has tirelessly played the role of peace advocate and advisor to the warring factions, and been a voice to international community for the people of Northern Uganda in a conflict that has lasted over 20 years; caused death to thousands of people; seen over 80,000 children abducted and turned into child soldiers; and displaced about 1.7 million people.

Ms. Bigombe’s latest peace effort was launched in 2004 when she arranged the first ever face-to-face meeting between government representatives and the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). She helped create a multi-prong effort that included traditional leaders, women, youth, and the international community in a dramatic push to end the 20 year old war. This initiative resulted in the ongoing peace talks between the government of Uganda and the LRA being held in Juba, south Sudan.
