To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 8 October 2018 to Question 176667 on Uganda: Military Aid, what military support the UK provided to Uganda between 2020 and 2024.

The UK provides military support to the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) to help build its capabilities to contribute to regional security. From 2020 to 2024 we have supported Uganda’s deployment to the Africa Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) and its successor mission the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS). This assistance includes pre-deployment training and capacity-building that covers engineering, stabilisation operations, intelligence and operational planning courses. In addition, the UK trains UPDF Marines and contingents of the Uganda Police Force deploying to ATMIS. We have also supported anti-poaching by training Ugandan wildlife rangers. All UK support is delivered through a combination of UK military training teams, professional military education courses delivered in the UK and overseas, and through the British Peace Support Team (Africa). All our training assistance includes International Humanitarian Law, Law of Armed Conflict, and Women, Peace and Security.
