The participants resolved that; the
causes of the conflicts can be dug from within the institutions and key
stakeholder be sensitized on their role. Proper mechanism of engaging the youth
should be put in place, Tooro kingdom should improve on their relations with
other people and institutions in Tooro and the region. However peace actors
should clearly understand the history of the region in which we are operating. Our
history has been influenced by politics of patronage.
