At the same time, it assesses the social, political and economic environment of young people, with a special focus on development programmes, employment and wellbeing. The study also points to the potential of youth to contribute to peace and security and goes on to propose policy recommendations for different stakeholders. Previous studies on the youth - in particular, International Alert's recent publications - demonstrate the challenges experienced by Ugandan youth, and how these could provoke conflict and insecurity in the country. Against this background, this study analyses how the youth's position on identity, exclusion and marginalisation, unemployment and access to opportunities may be a source of instability if due attention is not given to these issues. On the other hand, the potential of youth could also be an opportunity worth tapping into, possibly leading to positive development. The study is based primarily on a systematic review and interpretation of Alert's previous reports, namely: Youth Perspectives on Identity and National Unity in Uganda; Youth Participation in Government Programmes in Uganda; Youth Perceptions on Economic Opportunity in Northern Uganda - Findings from Acholi and Lango; and a special issue of the Journal of Development Studies: Perspectives on Youth and Development. This literature was enriched by additional data on youth perspectives on the political economy collected from young people living in and around Kampala - mainly youths from institutions of higher learning, but also working youths.
