{UAH} Fwd: Sharing the 10th Edition of the Black Monday Newsletter

Dear All,

We are pleased to share with you our flagship product from the Black Monday Movement: "The 10th Edition of the Black Monday Newsletter"  that focuses on hunger and malnutrition - themed Hunger is Fueled by Greed and Theft of Public Resources.

In this edition, we bring to you our esteemed readers and fellow activists an analysis of the huge sums of money stolen from the agricultural sector and the extent to which it has exacerbated hunger, malnutrition and overall poverty in our country.

Further we provide highlights of the recently released " The Cost of Hunger Report" and link it to how the money stolen could instead have been better utilized to avert this hidden problem. We also discuss the issue of GMOs and how it has largely driven by a few individual selfish interests. 

Special thanks go to Actionaid International (U) and the Food Rights Alliance team for their efforts towards the production of the newsletter.  

We encourage each one of us to share the online version available here : http://ngoforum.or.ug/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2013/09/black_monday_newsletter_10_sep13.pdf

A few hard copies are also available at the NGO Forum and other network organizations for sharing and dissemination to the wider citizenry.

We will share with you any public actions that will be organized but also encourage all of us especially our partners at the districts to engage with the citizens on the issue of  theft of resources and its impact on hunger and malnutrition. Please do keep the stories of change coming in for wider sharing and documentation.  

Regards,

Eunice Musiime Kataaha
