Updates on the EU Funded Project, “Action for Strengthening Good Governance and Accountability in Uganda”

This project is being carried out through a partnership between Konrad Adeneur Shiftung (KAS) and Action for Development (ACFODE)

Inception workshop:

Following the start of the project “Action for Strengthening Good Governance and Accountability in Uganda”, an inception and management workshop was held from Tuesday 13^th- Thursday 15^th September 2011 at Kabira Country Club to orient the Project Team on the project idea and concept as well as give a detailed introduction of objectives, results and activities of the project. Also carried out was a review of the project application. An update of the activity plan for the next 12 months with a detailed description, division of responsibilities between partners was also carried out.

Pre-visits by members of the Project team to the Districts where the Action is to be implemented:

Members of the Project Team concluded pre-visits in the districts of Masaka, Mbarara, Kabale, Kisoro, Jinja, Kiboga, Pallisa, Soroti, as well as in Lira, Pader and Arua in the North. The pre-visits aimed at introducing the project to the major stakeholders and to inform them of the planned project activities. In meetings with the district leadership the ground was laid for effective communication and fruitful cooperation towards achieving the project objectives.

While the training materials are currently being developed, the pre-visits have provided a starting point for effective communication and cooperation in the planning towards the first training activities at district level which will kick-off early next year.
