The Representative of the UN Secretary-General on IDPs, Francis Deng, on an official mission to Uganda between August 11-15, found the government’s draft national policy on internal displacement “to be comprehensive and rich in substance” and encouraged its speedy adoption and implementation. But Deng, who visited IDPs residing in camps in Kitgum and Gulu, called the spread of HIV/AIDS “a matter of serious concern” and drew attention to IDPs’ lack of access to water, health, sanitation and education.
