Our Cohort 12 Fellows had an insightful field visit to the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda (IRCU)under the theme “Exploring Interfaith Dialogue in Action and the Role of the Inter-Religious Council.” The fellows were warmly welcomed by Mr. John Osapiri, Team Lead – Legal and Policy Advocacy, who represented the Secretary General, alongside Ms. Sandra Namuganza, Program Officer – Youth and Children Affairs. They shared valuable insights into the Council's work, mandate and contribution to promoting interfaith understanding. The visit provided an opportunity to explore how faith-based institutions promote peaceful coexistence, mutual understanding, religious tolerance and social cohesion among diverse communities. Through this engagement, our fellows gained a deeper appreciation of the role of interfaith dialogue in conflict prevention, peacebuilding and fostering sustainable harmony.
Alex A. Bah, a Cohort 10 Makerere University Rotary Peace Center Fellow and the Head of Public Relations at Sierra Leone’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), built his Social Change Initiative on the idea that corruption is learned long before it is practised.
"Catch Them Young" works with schools across the Western Area to equip students to challenge corruption from an early age.
The initiative uses three tools:
1⃣Educational debates, where students argue through real questions of ethics and accountability.
2⃣Integrity education, which gives young people a clear language for right and wrong in public life.
3⃣Ambassadorship, which turns students into peer leaders for integrity in their own schools.
Corruption erodes trust in institutions. It deepens inequality and fuels grievance, and it is a documented driver of instability. Most anti-corruption work targets adults who already hold power. Alex targets the habits and values of those who will hold it next.
His approach reflects the Positive Peace thinking in our curriculum. Lasting peace needs accountable institutions and a culture of ethical leadership. Both start with people.
Alex leaves the fellowship with sharper tools and a clear method. He continues to promote integrity and build a more accountable society, one school at a time.

Our fellows are actively participating in Mediation Training Week, gaining practical knowledge and skills in conflict resolution, negotiation and peaceful dispute management under the guidance of Dr. Joy Mbambu from the ACA Dispute Resolution Centre.
The training provides a valuable opportunity for fellows to deepen their understanding of mediation, appreciate alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and develop the skills needed to become effective peacebuilders in their communities.
