Case Studies & Success Stories

The Uganda National NGO Forum (UNNGOF) is currently implementing the Strengthening Grassroots Social Accountability Project in Maracha, Yumbe, Budaka and Kibuku districts, with funding from the European Union. This 3-year initiative, running from 2023 to 2025, is strategically designed to promote a balance of power between citizens and their leaders, ensuring that citizens can meaningfully participate in decision-making and development processes within their communities. The project is part of UNNGOF’s broader agenda to strengthen grassroots social accountability mechanisms and enhance citizen engagement in local governance. Through this project, UNNGOF is working to cultivate a culture of civic responsibility, where citizens can confidently hold their leaders accountable for public services. UNNGOF visited project operation areas in October 2024 in Kibuku and Budaka districts in Bukedi region to determine the progress made so far. The goal of these visits was to profile and document stories of change of citizens whose lives and actions have been influenced by the project in Budaka and Kibuku Districts in Bukedi Sub-Region, identify and highlight successful approaches that can be replicated or scaled in similar initiatives, and use the insights gained from these stories to shape future strategies, ensuring that projects remain responsive to community needs and challenges.
