The research contained in this report was conducted during the months of September to December 2010. Two consultants visited five East African states: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda and interviewed 67 respondents drawn from different groups of the LGBTI community, human rights activists and government agencies. The interviewers recorded the interview proceedings with respondents verbatim and with the aid of questionnaires and electronic recorders. This project has made use of existing research and literature on the subject as well as official documents including national and international legal and policy documents and sources. Information obtained was as far as it was possible verified from official sources and other published works.
