About UAPC22

UAPC is the largest gathering of researchers, practitioners, advocates and policymakers working on alcohol policy in Uganda. The conference is sponsored by IOGT-NTO movement and organized by UAPA in partnership with Ministry of Health and Makerere University School of Public Health.

UAPC 2022’s focus is to build bridges between research/evidence and alcohol control policy formulation and implementation. The 1st conference held in November 2018 was dedicated to enhancing collaboration to overcome alcohol harm, while the second in 2020 focused on community participation in the eradication of alcohol harm. UAPC 2022 will hence go a step higher by supporting the momentum for the current alcohol legislative initiatives in Uganda.
