Who We Are
Uganda faces alcohol-related harm due to unregulated practices, including free distribution of alcohol and branded merchandise, and lacks legally binding regulations on health warning labels on alcohol containers.
Furthermore the 2023 alcohol bill in Uganda faces opposition from various stakeholders due to concerns about potential economic ramifications. Key industry players express apprehensions about the impact of alcohol regulation on tax revenue, job opportunities, and market dynamics. In this context, the Uganda Alcohol Policy Conference emerges as a crucial platform for stakeholders to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and develop evidence-based strategies to mitigate alcohol-related harm, promoting public health and holistic development, and ensuring economic growth.
To promote evidence-based alcohol control policies for holistic development, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and facilitating networking opportunities to form partnerships and reduce alcohol-related harm.
The conference will be held in a hybrid format, combining virtual and face-to-face platforms, featuring keynote presentations, plenary sessions, panel discussions, and interactive workshops and exhibitions.
These 5 minute presentations provide an opportunity to highlight case studies and new and/or upcoming research or research-translation initiatives. The format for these presentations is still to be determined.
The UAPC24's success relies on financial and logistical support, to cater for venue, meals, travel, marketing materials, technology, printing, and administrative costs.
