About Project:

According to its Vision 2040, Uganda wants to develop into a middle-income country in the coming years.

The programme pays particular attention to the human rights-based approach (including gender, youth and inclusion of persons with disabilities) as well as digitalization.

 

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Strengthening the thematic and methodological expertise of civil society organizations with a focus on gender inclusive governance, participatory processes and leaving no one behind
