Welcome to the Kacoke Madit (KM)'s website. You will find information on Kacoke Madit's (KM) past and current activities, news and updates on events and developments in Uganda. You can listen 'live' to Mega FM a northern Uganda based community radio station and also share our collection of material and resources on conflict resolution and peace building.

KM is a non-partisan and non-profit making forum dedicated to working for a resolution of the Northern Uganda conflict so as to achieve lasting peace and reconciliation. The name 'Kacoke Madit' comes from the Acholi language. It means 'the big meeting', having evolved from an initiative by the Acholi community in the Diaspora in 1996 to raise awareness about the conflict and to win international support for a resolution. KM's work is supported by a network of individuals, and partner groups and organisations, including community based organisations and international NGOs who share in our vision of achieving lasting peace and reconciliation by peaceful means. The Secretariat is based in London, United Kingdom, with regional representation in mainland Europe, North America, Southern Africa and Uganda.
KM believes that sustainable peace and reconciliation in Uganda can most effectively be achieved through the peaceful settlement of conflicts; that military force cannot achieve this and will cause more suffering for the civilian population, especially children, women and those who are internally displaced. We are committed to working for a peaceful settlement and welcome the support and collaboration of those who share this goal. Currently our work includes peace advocacy, identifying and facilitation opportunities for peace dialogue and supporting the peace building work of Acholi traditional chiefs and religious leaders.
