Abstract
The Kampala city traders' strike in 2012 provides a vivid representation of the business community presenting and representing the interests of the citizens amidst a financial crisis in Uganda. The strike came as a shock to the powerful central government of Uganda. In the context of the strike, the crossroads for civil society is related to the capacities and relationships to coordinate the wider civil society to champion citizen's issues and well-being.Les négociants urbains de Kampala (KACITA) font grève pour obtenir des actionsLa grève des négociants urbains de Kampala en 2012 représente de manière parlante la décision par la communauté des affaires de présenter et de représenter les intérêts des citoyens dans un contexte de crise financière en Ouganda.
