Abstract [en]

This paper explores and discusses corruption in Uganda and explores the role of social work in addressing corruption. It notes that corruption is a form of social injustice and a major human rights violation. It deprives many citizens access to various essential services. The paper further notes that there is little or no social work interventions addressing corruption in the country. As such, it argues that this silence by social workers constitutes a negation of the profession's mandate and responsibility. The paper concludes by proposing various roles that social work may play to address this social ill.
