This paper explores religious pluralism and inter-faith dynamics in West Africa with a specific focus on Uganda. The research employs qualitative methods including interviews and literature reviews to analyse existing data and narratives surrounding inter-faith relations in Uganda. A key finding is the significant role of traditional healers as mediators between different religious groups, facilitating dialogue and cooperation across faith lines. This study underscores the importance of understanding local cultural contexts for effective interfaith engagement and conflict resolution in diverse societies. Policy makers should consider fostering environments that encourage mutual respect and dialogue among religious communities to promote social cohesion.
