GOAL critical of Uganda funding

AID agency GOAL has criticised the Government’s continuing funding of Uganda because of its involvement in the Congolese war and human rights violations.

Yesterday Junior Foreign Affairs Minister Tom Kitt announced that €826,610 in grant aid to help human rights and democratisation projects will be given to developing countries.

Among the countries that will benefit from the Human Rights and Democratisation Scheme are: Colombia, Burundi, Kenya, the Sudan, Peru, Brazil and Guatemala.
