"Arnold Kwesiga on Corporate Accountability in Uganda"

Arnold Kwesiga is the Coordinator of the Uganda Consortium on Corporate Accountability (UCCA). Recently in Kampala, IHRB's Salil Tripathi of IHRB met Arnold to discuss the state of corporate accountability in Uganda. Arnold spoke of the need for Uganda to prepare a proper national action plan, and for ways to engage local companies to embrace the UN Guiding Principles. A bigger challenge is tackling Uganda's informal sector in which 85% of Ugandans work, and who remain beyond the reach of big companies, foreign or local.
