KAMULI NETWORK OF NON GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS

A Situation analysis was conducted in Kamuli in 1996 by a team of 25 CSOs led by KANENGO founder members where findings show that our society is still ignorant about constitutional rights, yet the local leaders per our decentralisation system provides sharing opportunities of which voiceless, marginalised and uninformed stakeholders can’t demand of their leaders a level of participation, engagement and contribution to budget or policy changes. On the other hand even elected leaders are not informed on governance practices. Several challenges still remain in achieving the noble aims and objectives of decentralised governance. Majority of the people and their representatives are still ignorant of their rights, the process of policy making and implementation.
