Apac in the World intends to describe, analyse and understand life in Apac, northern Uganda. One of the most economically and politically marginalised districts, Apac is often overlooked. The blog focuses on people and the conditions of life in the district. It also seeks to position Apac within Uganda, Africa and the world at large.
::
The blog was initiated by a development advisor who lived in Apac, working for MS Danish Association for Development Cooperation with a local non-governmental organisation, NGO Link Forum – Apac. But after she left Apac, the blog management was transferred to two friends, former colleagues and residents of Apac, and the list of contributors was opened up to those who wanted to become involved.
The idea is now that Apac in the World should become a forum for experiences from and reflections about Apac and the life that goes on in this wonderful yet isolated part of Uganda.

Hello!
I came across your blog during my research on Apac. I am an American journalist who is coming to the area at the beginning of the year and would love to talk to you more about Apac before I arrive.

Hello Line,
I am a Ugandan currently studying in Belgium.
I read your blog after a friend told me about it. I find your analysis of the district governance issues-as a son of the district and a former district employee- to be right on the spot! You vividly capture the issues and made me get the feel as if i were in Apac.
Apac will not develope unless there is a total overhaul of the district leadership both the elected and the appointed officials and there are some ‘unholly alliance’s between the civil servants and the politicians. The ultimate loosers have been and will be the poor rural peasantry communities.
Just keep the Blog moving. And as they say in this part of the world: Dank you well.
