1.  The National Diaspora Policy

The policy is part of a broad national strategy designed to support mobilization and utilization of Diaspora resources in the country's development agenda. The main objective of this to unbind constraints that affect Diaspora's dignity and accord full participation of Diaspora in national development through integration of Ugandan Diaspora in their host countries.
