DEVELOPMENT NETWORK OF INDIGENOUS VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS (DENIVA)
The Development Network of Indigenous Voluntary Associations (DENIVA) is a registered, indigenous, non-profit making network of Ugandan Non-Governmental and Community Based Organisations (NGOs/CBOs). The organisation's purpose is to empower DENIVA's Member Organisations and other civic organisations for democratic growth and sustainable development through networking, advocacy and capacity building. They run several programmes, including a project to strengthen local governance through civil society organisations (funded by Ford Foundation). This project targets 4 districts in Uganda and aims to strengthen the capacities of civil society organisations (CSOs) to participate in influencing policies and ensuring good governance at the sub-county and district level. Activities include: conscientisation workshops to analyse the Constitution, Local Government Act, and other decentralisation policies; public dialogues/fora on what good governance is about; producing/collecting simplified versions of the Local Government Act 1997 and other required literature; training workshops of CSOs in advocacy and lobbying skills; exchange visits among the participating districts; training workshops to acquire basic monitoring tools and methodologies.
DENIVA's key LogoLink contact is Prof J. B. Kwesiga.
