📍Rubirizi District Protecting human rights starts with listening to communities and holding duty bearers accountable. UGANET is conducting a semester dialogue with duty bearers and the Human Rights Committee in Ryeru Sub-county, Rubirizi District, to address pressing community concerns, including breaches of confidentiality by health workers, child neglect and abuse. The dialogue has also highlighted a condom stockout in the district, raising concerns about access to essential sexual and reproductive health commodities. Through these discussions, UGANET is creating space for duty bearers and community representatives to identify gaps in service delivery, strengthen accountability and explore solutions that protect the rights, dignity and well-being of community members. #UGANET4SocialJustice

This Week at UGANET | Strengthening Community Action Through Data and Reflection This week, UGANET continued its field activities in Keri, Oraba, Lobule and Midia, conducting data validation and cleaning to address inconsistencies and variations and improve data quality. In Lobule, our team, alongside the Gender Officer, also participated in the monthly SASA! meeting. The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on progress during the Awareness Phase, share implementation challenges and discuss recommendations for strengthening community engagement. Participants also used power posters to bring discussions about power dynamics to life, encouraging reflection and dialogue as part of the Awareness Phase. Through these activities, UGANET continues to support evidence informed programming and community led efforts to address gender inequality and prevent violence. #UGANET4SocialJustice #SASA #GenderEquality

This Week at UGANET | Strengthening Accountability and Coordination Through URRI On Oct. 21-22, 2026, UGANET participated in the URRI Project Annual Implementation Monitoring Committee (IMC) meeting at Bomah Hotel in Gulu City. The meeting brought together the two consortia led by Save the Children International and the Danish Refugee Council, alongside representatives from government ministries, the Office of the Prime Minister, implementing partners, district technical and political leaders, and the Royal Danish Embassy, the project’s funding partner. The meeting provided a platform to track URRI’s results, review implementation progress and agree on priorities for the next phase. It also reinforced government ownership and leadership while ensuring that project interventions remain aligned with national policies. UGANET’s participation reflects the importance of coordinated, accountable and government-led approaches to delivering meaningful results for communities. #UGANET4SocialJustice #URRI
