This article develops a theoretical framework for understanding Uganda's cyber negotiation strategy within diplomatic crisis management, drawing on interdisciplinary insights from political science, institutional economics, and environmental governance. It examines how Uganda's post-war statebuilding context, characterised by minimalist economic management and aid dependency, shapes its approach to cyber negotiations during crises. The framework integrates institutional theory with resource-based perspectives to analyse how Uganda leverages digital tools while navigating constraints. Evidence from recent studies on Uganda's institutional environment, economic strategies, and sustainable resource management informs the analysis. The article argues that Uganda's cyber negotiation strategy reflects adaptive institutional responses to external pressures, with implications for African foreign policy and crisis diplomacy. Theoretical contributions include a model linking cyber capabilities to diplomatic outcomes in resource-constrained states, while practical applications focus on enhancing Uganda's crisis resilience through strategic cyber engagement.
