BACKGROUND
In February 2012, DRC and DDG merged their operations in Uganda into one joint program, under one CD, in-country, and one Head of Desk, at the organization's headquarters in Copenhagen.

DRC-DDG's Mine Action program ended in late 2012 when Uganda declared herself compliant with the AP Mine Ban Convention.
As DRC is reviewing possibilities for increased decentralization and/or regionalization of its international efforts, the Uganda CD position may in time expand to contain regional responsibilities or be subject to such regional office.
