The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights on the Rights of Citizens to Social Protection and Social Security: How Does Uganda Measure up?
This research interrogates social protection in Uganda against the norms enshrined in the African Protocol on the Rights of Citizens to Social Protection. We find that while the country has made good progress and has a National Social Protection Policy, it should strengthen social protection by more firmly entrenching it as a right, including enacting enabling legislation. Key to this is ratifying the African Union Protocol on Social Protection.
