We are pleased to share with you our member's Newsletter for the July-September, 2023 period.
"To engender a culture that empowers and creates room for active participation of youth in order to achieve social justice and equitable development in Uganda."
Established in 2013, Vijana Corps is a Ugandan-based, youth-focused organization working to achieve the above mission and realize an enlightened, empowered, and productive youth.
Ms. Rita Aciro Lakor the Executive Director for Uganda Women’s Network (an UNNGOF member) was on 29th April 2021 announced as the winner for EU Human Rights Defenders Award for 2021.
On 27th July 2014, Civil Society, farmers and some Members of Parliament launched a campaign to collect 1 million signatures to petition the Speaker of Parliament of Uganda urging her and the entire Parliament to withdraw the proposal of taxes on agriculture inputs including pesticides and fertilizers among others.
The one million campaign was launched by the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG), a coalition of CSOs that monitors and participates in budgeting and budget advocacy in Uganda.
The Free and Fair Elections campaign, which was initiated in February 2014 by a host of civil society organizations and political parties to mobilize Ugandans into a popular demand for a new system of managing elections, emanates from the National Citizens Manifesto process, the vision for Uganda, a peaceful and prosperous country with happy people.
