Uganda has a decentralized system of governance which means social services (e.g. health, education, justice, roads, etc.) should be provided at lower level governments. Despite this, the majority of the people are usually unable to hold the government to account for poor or non-delivery of these social services due to corruption, lack of information and limited capacity etc.
Under this programme of action the focus of NGS Uganda will be to strengthen the capacity of vulnerable communities (e.g. women, youth, persons with disabilities, refugees etc.) to demand for good governance, greater accountability and responsiveness of public authorities and service providers as part of citizen led accountability in the areas of social sectors and natural resource management.
