Based on field research conducted by Human Rights Watch in northern Uganda during February 2003, the methodology includes interviews with eighteen children who had been abducted, and three others who are now young adults but were abducted as children. Interviews were also conducted with numerous representatives of nongovernmental organisations, religious and civic leaders, UNICEF, local government officials, and representatives of the Ugandan People's Defence Force.
