The Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Social Protection

The Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Social Protection was established as an advocacy forum of the Parliament of Uganda attracting both sitting and former members of Parliament with an interest in social protection to ensure that government works with all public and private sector stakeholders so that the aspirations for social protection are attained to the benefit of the most vulnerable sections of Uganda’s population. The primary activities of the Forum include: 1. Advocating for the expansion and allocation of resources for social protection- specifically extension of SAGE. 2. Undertaking oversight and monitoring functions over SP implementation for efficiency and betterment of services to beneficiaries. 3. Being an official body that would directly interface with the ministry of Gender Labor and Social Development on SP issues.
