Abstract
While the rest of the world enjoys the fruits
of technological advancement, economic growth,
better social services, and improved standards of
living generally, there are some groups of people that
continue to languish in forgotten corners of the
world. Using the Batwa case, this paper is concerned
with the minorities who have been excluded from
mainstream development, and whose very existence
is under threat. The Uganda Land Alliance for
Coalition of Pastoral Civil Society Organizations
(COPACSO) has warned that the few thousand
Batwa of Uganda are in danger of extinction.
