Elias Omondi Opongo examines how external funding for peacebuilding NGOs drives a Western liberal peace agenda and how this subverts local peacebuilding and conflict resolution strategies in Northern Uganda.

The book begins with a discussion of decoloniality and peacebuilding as well as a close look at the conflict in Northern Uganda. Then Opongo analyzes liberal peacebuilding influence in the region, decolonizing the International Criminal Court, and relational constructionism.
