Annual Reports

In 2023, UNNGOF continued to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to providing a sharing and reflection platform for NGOs, to influence governance and development processes in Uganda and enhance their operating environment. UNNGOF continued to work towards a healthy, strong, and well-coordinated NGO sector through capacity building of NGOs, strengthened collaboration at sub national level, promoted community led development and initiatives, continued building NGO expertise and competencies, membership servicing and growth.

The Uganda National NGO Forum (UNNGOF) remained committed to its vision, mission, and core values in 2022 as guided by The NGO Blueprint, our 2021 – 2025 Strategic Plan. Throughout the year, UNNGOF convened and coordinated CSOs to lobby and influence the national development agenda. True to our Strategic Plan, we focused on the collective and capitalised on the power of numbers to be a force of change to build the Uganda we all want through working towards influencing pro-people policies and responsive institutions.

2021 started on a very challenging and uncertain note for UNNGOF. However, it also proved one thing true – our  foundations are undeniably built on partnerships within the sector, the government, the international community, and of course, the citizens at the centre

2020 was for us the hottest of fires and indeed, like steel, we were forced to be flexible, to adapt, to embrace change. We could not have aptly predicted the extreme impact COVID-19 had on NGOs and the way we work. All our actions were therefore geared towards intentionally managing the fallout from the countrywide lockdown and restrictions on movement and large gatherings, which have for long defined our operations as a sector.
