Great Lakes Symposium in Kampala

The government of Uganda in conjunction with the Mwalimu Nyerere Foundation organised the Great Lakes Symposium in Kampala, April 8-11, 2002. The climax of the symposium was the Summit of Regional Heads of State on April 11, 2002 hosted by President
Museveni and attended by Presidents Daniel arap Moi of Kenya, Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania and Pierre Buyoya of Burundi. Ethiopia, Eritrea and Rwanda were represented by High Level Delegations.

The Conference acted as a catalyst for the emergence of a regional movement towards sustainable peace, unity and development. In addition, it provided a forum for dialogue, planning and action for participatory democracy and development in the Great Lakes region.

Uganda also commemorated the anniversary of the fall of Idi Amin (April 11, 1979). President Museveni paid glowing tribute to the late President Mwalimu Nyerere, the government and people of the United Republic of Tanzania for their assistance in ousting the dictator.
