ActionAid Uganda

ActionAid Uganda (AAU) is an International Non-Governmental Organization (INGO) that is locally registered as a Private Voluntary Organisation in Uganda. Since the establishment of its programmes in 2006, the organisation remains grounded in the communities from which it derives its mandate. AAU currently has a presence with offices and staff in 15 districts. AAU prioritizes working with minority groups like women, children and people living in extreme poverty. While predominantly rural, AAU has had development activities in urban areas as well. In line with the ActionAid International partnership policy, AAU defines itself as an independent organization that takes sides with the people living in poverty and works in partnership with local Community Based Organisations (CBOs), national and international NGOs, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), various tiers of government, and other like-minded organisations in and outside Uganda.
