Since 2006, the Uganda Fund has supported local organizations in post-conflict northern Uganda, which have greatly contributed to the creation of opportunity, economic development and healing for underserved populations in the region. Emphasis has been placed on investments in local capacity, cooperation with regional partners, and establishment of an organizational structure that is steeped in, a
nd responsive to, community need. The Uganda Fund’s strength lies in providing hands-on technical support, which has aided its grantees in enhancing programs, adjusting governance structures, implementing management plans, creating staff training programs, organizing governing boards, and increasing fundraising efforts. All strategies are aimed at increasing grantees’ institutional independence while ensuring long-term stability and creating a base for future growth that will contribute to continued regional recovery.
