Abstract

Religious pluralism in Uganda's West African context has been a subject of interest for scholars in African Studies. Qualitative research methods were employed, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document review among various religious groups in Uganda's West Africa region. A significant theme emerged regarding the mutual respect and cooperation observed between Christian, Muslim, and indigenous belief systems in resolving community disputes. The findings suggest that despite historical tensions, inter-faith dialogue has fostered a more inclusive societal environment. Policy recommendations for promoting further inter-religious understanding and collaboration are proposed based on the study's insights.
