Evidence pathway
Security dialogue became a broader policy process.
The record begins with the joint Uganda–Kenya security mission held in Moroto on 20 February 2023. Technical analysis then identified the legal, institutional, environmental and community questions that a durable cross-border resource-sharing framework would need to resolve. Later Peace Caravan activity connected this bilateral work to community learning, border governance and a regional action framework.
This page presents the supplied reports as evidence of the process. It does not reproduce or imply any confidential AFLI–OWC agreement, and it does not convert working papers into formal intergovernmental instruments.
