Uganda Transition Series Project is a bold initiative examining the country’s uncertain political future as President Yoweri Museveni’s nearly four-decade rule nears a critical juncture. Amid growing debate around succession, democracy, and national stability, the project aims to spark informed public dialogue and prepare citizens, civil society, scholars, and policymakers for a range of possible outcomes—from peaceful transition to crisis or authoritarian continuity.
Through expert interviews, citizen reflections on X Spaces, podcasts, and policy briefs, the series unpacks Uganda’s power dynamics and succession questions. It documents national hopes, fears, and ideas while offering a rare platform for civic education in a climate where open discussion on leadership transition is often stifled. At its heart, the Uganda Transition Series is about imagining a democratic future—beyond fear, beyond propaganda, and beyond silence.
