Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

UGANET in the Field | Nakasongola & Wakiso Districts
Effective community responses to human rights concerns depend, in part, on whether local structures can identify emerging issues, mobilise the right institutions and translate their respective mandates into practical action.
This was a key focus of UGANET's Monitoring and Evaluation team's support visits to Nakasongola and Wakiso districts, where the team engaged local leadership and district-level structures to assess progress and document lessons.
In Nakasongola, the team engaged the LC5 Chairperson, a former UGANET paralegal, reflecting the importance of sustained relationships between community justice actors and district leadership.
In Wakiso, the team visited the District HIV and Human Rights Committee (DHRC), where members shared practices with potential for replication across other districts. These included leveraging the different offices represented on the committee to address community concerns, conducting targeted sensitisation on HIV-related stigma and misinformation, and addressing TB concerns in prisons through the committee's TB focal person.
The Wakiso committee's filing and documentation systems also stood out as a good practice for strengthening institutional record-keeping and continuity.
The experiences from both districts offer practical lessons on strengthening local accountability structures, improving coordination and making district-level responses more relevant to the human rights and public health concerns affecting communities.

Dear Parents,when introducing your children,don't say that you have 4 children & 1 with a disability (All 5 are children),the other with a disability shouldn't be counted separately as such... (unless it is for research purposes)

Leadership is not about the title you hold, the position you occupy or the status you command. It is about the difference you make in the lives of others.
True leadership means serving before seeking recognition.
Leadership is service, not status.

Artivism combined art, visuals and activism to inspire social change. Through drawing, painting, poetry, storytelling and drama, learners explored how creative expression could challenge harmful practices and promote safer communities.
❝As GC7 comes to an end, we must look beyond the activities we have implemented and ask ourselves what we are carrying forward. We do not want the District Human Rights Committees to become inactive because funding has ended. We need to identify ways of sustaining these structures, following up on human rights concerns and ensuring that issues affecting communities continue to receive attention.
We have made progress in advancing human rights in the #HIV and #TB response, but stigma, discrimination and barriers to accessing services remain. I encourage all of us to reflect on the outstanding issues in our districts, identify practical solutions and agree on actions that we can continue implementing beyond this project.❞
