Field monitors could only cover some incidents from areas where they could gain access but not the entire geographic territory. Different data (information) collection methods were applied and the information from the field was critically analyzed by a reporting panel at Kampala office. The panel used analytical methods to sort the information in order to arrive at accurate findings which were included in this report. For the purposes of consolidating this report, HUDO Centre also used the following methods in collecting and analyzing data/ information; 1) Data collection forms were developed/ used 2) Interviewing of victims, their relatives and witnesses 3) Scrutiny, verification of documents and getting comments from professionals (Lawyers, Doctors e.t.c). 4) Official declarations and media articles were scrutinized. 1.8 Limitations and challenges  Due to security threats, some of the victims and witnesses could not easily reveal information  The government’s imposition of state of emergency in the two states and the insecurity hindered the field monitors in gathering information 8
