Uganda’s Dual Citizenship Laws and the Diaspora | Expert Panel Discussion

As Uganda continues to engage with its growing diaspora community, important questions are emerging around citizenship, identity, belonging, and participation. In this expert panel discussion, Uganda Global Forum brings together legal, policy, and diaspora perspectives to explore Uganda’s dual citizenship framework and its implications for Ugandans living abroad.

The conversation examines a range of issues affecting diaspora communities, including:

• Citizenship recognition for children born abroad to Ugandan citizen parents
• Citizenship retention after acquiring another nationality
• Dual citizenship and civic participation
• Identity, belonging, and intergenerational connections to Uganda
