“Today, from this CPAR Uganda training on understanding poverty, I have realised that we, the people in the rural areas of Lango, to some extent, are responsible for our own poverty. By this I mean those in relative poverty. People in relative poverty may be responsible for their own poverty through, for example, some gender issues which are brought about by their negative traditional and religious beliefs.”
