vivo’s initial steps in Uganda
Uganda has a long history of civil wars and has been surrounded by some of the worst conflicts in African history. As a consequence, Uganda hosts large refugee populations from many foreign countries and has to deal with the legacy of their own wars. vivo’s work in Uganda started in 1999 with the first trial of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) treating traumatized Sudanese refugees in Imvepi refugee camp situated in the very North of Uganda.
