Not-for-profit and public sector

In Uganda, NGOs have been active for decades, initially focusing on health and education, and expanding to include relief and charity work. Since 1986, their numbers have surged to over 7,000, with a broad range of influences and activities. NGOs in Uganda operate on national and district levels, with some focusing on specific sectors like health, education, agriculture, and the environment, while others engage in macro policy advice, advocacy, governance, and research.

The sector includes national, regional (RENGOs), and international NGOs (INGOs), with many collaborating with local NGOs and government ministries. Faith-based organizations (FBOs), although currently registered as NGOs, are not fully covered by NGO policies but must comply with regulations if they engage in NGO-like activities. The government is expected to eventually create a separate framework for FBOs to better coordinate their spiritual activities.

On the other hand, public sector in Uganda represents a complex and multifaceted environment requiring rigorous financial management and accountability. The sector is structured into various ministries, departments, agencies (MDAs), and local governments, all responsible for executing government policies and managing public resources. The decentralized governance system adds another layer of complexity, as local governments are entrusted with significant autonomy in managing resources, which necessitates thorough oversight and auditing to ensure proper use and accountability.
