In 2008, Uganda developed a national action plan based on resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008) and the Goma Declaration on Eradicating Sexual Violence and Ending Impunity in the Great Lakes Region (2008), which complements other national, regional and international policy and legal frameworks to which Uganda is a party. The national action plan gave renewed impetus and resolve in Uganda's efforts towards the recognition and advancement of women's rights and the campaign to eradicate sexual violence. The plan was revised in 2011 to take into account the lessons learned during its implementation, including the need to make indicators more streamlined and succinct for better monitoring and reporting. The revised plan will serve as a guide to all implementing actors until 2015, although it will be reviewed periodically to set new priorities based on experiences on the ground during implementation.
