TAC members with the support of GIZ have been trained on the Coalition Governance Manual. The manual informs, governance, joint programme delivery, accountability, solidarity and cohesion for anticorruption campaigns in TAC. An action plan adopted for its use.

@Uwitware @Kakwenza1 @nickopiyo @marc1705 @nbstv And they had the audacity to defend the indefensible . Talk about fools parading their ignorance about a subject. Here's to you @nbstv - If your programme directors have an iota of sense.

This is succinct. It should help those either confused or deliberately obtuse about the Black Lives Matter Movement. Do not be gone deaf folks to this serious issue.

Let's chat about the perspectives of women and PWDs in Uganda's COVID-19 responses also in the #ActionAidTalksUg @actionaiduganda @PACUgandaSoroti @DGFUganda17 @SamuelArimon @OjUganda

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @sabitijoseph In Ug citizen oversight is largely thru representation which hasnt been possible in the emergency modus operendi! This is why Teso CSOs have called on task forces to adopt to mechanisms to increase citizen participation in their decision making processes.

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 Since a great % of the emergency responses rely on existing infrastructure and policies; our budgeting architecture should focus on progressively empowering our frontline services like health, transport, communication and agriculture to hold fort!

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RebeccaKadagaUG @FrankTumwebazek @SemujjuNganda No it will NOT! The oversight that COVID-19 responses need is from institutions not individuals. The Oversight and Accountability committees of Parliament can & should provide the needed oversight with no extra cost to tax payers. See OPM procurement scandal!

[TAC @tacteso]

@Mubangizi1995 @actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RuhakanaR @edthnaka Absolutely! Learning from the OPM food saga; Task forces should inherently be accountable and that is more actual with the District Chairpersons and CAOs than the RDCs! Teso CSOs have demanded to see a form of political oversight on all task force operations.

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RuhakanaR @edthnaka CSOs in Teso have demanded that Task Forces should publish all resources mobilized and how they are utilized using; the available radio airtime on community radios, public notices, social media and by designating, a taskforce public liaison office.

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @karamagi_andrew @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 @nicksonogwal A point to ponder by @PPDAUganda @Accu_Ug is how procurement related corruption is deep seated in Uganda despite the presence of a law. Probably OPM could have used another template to provide this relief instead of being the PDU!

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @karamagi_andrew @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 @nicksonogwal It is now clear that OPM needs to develop anticorruption strategy for each of their interventions complete with transparency, accountability, oversight mandate and compliance by participating MDAs. Prevention is better than cure!

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @karamagi_andrew @muniekailyn @Mubangizi1995 @nicksonogwal Parliament as an institution gets the nod for promptitude with the supp. budget but individual MPs have not resonated the 'leadership is critical' tone set by GoU. Ugandans are disappointed about the 20M saga and had hoped for better.

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @DGFUganda17 @UPDFspokespersn If anything is being done, it is not SEEN to have been done! Violence survivors deserve a transparent perpetrator accountability process in order to restore their confidence in what ever measures are being taken to deal with violence in armed forces.

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @karamagi_andrew @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 @nicksonogwal Investment in backbone service infrastructure such as a robust National Health Service Delivery is in itself a means to deal with emergencies. It is high time we started progressive actions towards improving health service provision.

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @xmusema @nicksonogwal Teso CSOs also support the calls to make Legal Aid Service Provision an 'essential' service in the Lock Down as a measure of Human Rights Defending. @ug_lawsociety @LaspnetUganda @HRCUG

[TAC @tacteso]

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @xmusema @nicksonogwal CSOs in Teso have agreed to sustain incident reporting, document evidence, engage the UHRC, @HRCUG and LASPs to handle specific cases and incidences.
