NGOs operate in a dynamic environment. Today, they face strong global influences resulting from a dominant ideology' driving the international economy. These influences have in part contributed to and conditioned many developing country governments and NGOs to be largely reactive rather than proactive in shaping their economic, environment and in some cases political choices. Extrem power imbalanaces that shape the international economy are reflected at country level where poverty and deprivation co-exist with wealth, powerlessness exists alongside transformational potential of citizens and severe socioeconomic and political injustices reign when a more equitable distribution of power is possible.
The rise of development players, whose practices give scant regard to rights and good governance, is beginning to account for increased depletion of natural resources, accelerating conflicts and multiplying emergencies and displacements. Thus, unregulated private sector-led growth has weakened the capacity of the state to respond to such unbalanced development, leading to widespread social disruptions that threaten the soul of many African nations.
It is in this context that hope is often found in NGOs: actors that not only provide essential services to the more disadvantaged sections of society, but also offer space where social and economic pressure can be nurtured to challenge social injustice.
Civil society in Uganda is evolving into an autonomous force that transcends fragmentation. The Uganda National NGO Forum helps it to be better coordinated for more effective participation in and new spaces. The Uganda National NGO Forum is one such avenue for collective civil society action.
We are an independent and inclusive National Platform for NGOs in Uganda. It provides a space for collective reflection and action by NGOs on matters of interest to their work and Uganda's governance and development aspirations.
The National NGO Forum website helps you navigate around the collective action of civic organisations in Uganda, with a specific focus on the NGO sector. The site is intended to focus on the work of NGOs affiliated to the Uganda National NGO Forum (both members and non members) and their activities informed by other civil society actors. These include economic and cultural associations, religious and professional bodies actors that play the role of being a voice for the public good.
The site is intended to give you invaluable news, views, research and in-depth critical analysis on various policy and topical issues, from a unique and autonomous perspective. It provides you the opportunity to interact with others on topics that interest you.
