The contract includes engagement with the US executive branch and Congress, strategic legislative and policy outreach, media relations and communications support, promotion of U.S.–Uganda trade and investment, and advisory services related to counterterrorism cooperation.

They cited "attacks on journalists, the jailing of opposition figures, the tear gassing of citizens assembling peacefully, reported abductions of opposition members and candidates, and reports of violence by security forces in the weeks and months leading up to these elections.”
