1.The Northern Uganda Conflict -- 2.Explaining Women's Limited Involvement In Peacemaking And Peacebuilding -- 3.Case Studies of Women in Peacemaking and Peacebuilding: Empirical Evidence -- 4.Study Context -- 5.Lederach's Peacebuilding Framework -- 6.Peacemaking And Peacebuilding Efforts By Various Actors In Northern Uganda -- 7.Women's Inputs into Peacemaking and Peacebuilding Processes -- 8.Major Constraints Facing Women as Peacemakers and Peacebuilders -- 9.Summary of the Findings.

The book analyses the two decades of the brutal civil war of northern Uganda. The author modified Lederach's peacebuilding framework to include peacemaking to bring out the argument that women and men make significant contributions to the peace processes and point out women's position as top leadership actors. The book uncovers the under-emphasised role of women in peacemaking and building. From grassroots to national level, women were found to have organised themselves and assumed roles as advocates, negotiators and mobilisers. The actions by women became evident at the stalemated Juba peace talks when women presented the Peace Torch to the peace negotiating teams who on the occasion shook hands for the first time and peace was ushered in. Their initiatives and non-violent actions offer lessons to resolve civil conflicts in Africa. The book recommends that women should undergo relevant training in times of peace as this would make them more effective in times of need.
