Elizabeth Lwanga has been a beacon of peace, working behind the scenes to restore broken relations on the continent.

The retired UN ambassador (1990-2008) currently works as a development adviser, leadership development consultant and executive coach. She serves on a number of governance boards, and supports special causes, especially in conflict resolution, peace building, restoration of values and ethics, mentoring young women and especially the plight of those affected by the war in northern Uganda.
