| Abstract: | Using data from a cross-sectional survey of internally displacedpopulations in northern Uganda, this article analyses individual-leveldeterminants of attitudes toward peacebuilding processes, includingreturning home and the reintegration of former combatants. Wefind that perceptions of social services and livelihood opportunitiesat the current place of living and at return or resettlementsites influence individuals decisions to move as do attitudestoward former combatants. Furthermore, we show that internallydisplaced persons are a specific group with needs and attitudesthat differ from those of others. Such empirical informationmust be taken into account for the successful development andimplementation of peace and reconstruction programmes. |
