Organizational Context

Since 2018, the IDLO Uganda Country Office has been implementing the Community Justice Programme (CJP). The programme aims to enhance accessibility, quality, and sustainability of justice services for citizens, particularly those living in rural, marginalized, and disadvantaged communities at the national, district and community levels.

This will enhance Sub grantee's ability to build an environment of trust, transparency and accountability necessary for fostering long-term investment, financial stability and business integrity, thereby supporting stronger growth and more inclusive societies as well as transparently mobilize resources and improve accountability in budget and project management and sustain results of the CJP.
