- Our activities are guided by our 5-year Strategic Plan (2025-2030), which serves as a comprehensive roadmap for enhancing impact, bolstering institutional capacity, and scaling transformative community initiatives. These initiatives are informed by valuable lessons learned from previous partnerships with Organisations such as USAID/AVSI, Plan International, GIZ, UGEFA, AWDF, ENventure, GRiC Africa, and FICH. Moreover, our strategies align closely with Uganda's Vision 2040, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the African Union Agenda 2063, ensuring that our efforts contribute meaningfully to national, regional, and continental development objectives.
