USAID/Uganda is offering this grant to implement the Rights and Rule of Law Activity, adopting a rights-based approach to enhance human rights and development. This grant is for strengthening the capacity of both rights holders and duty bearers in Uganda. It aims to empower individuals to assert their rights and demand accountability, while increasing the capacity of duty bearers to uphold, protect, and fulfill human rights. The initiative seeks a positive transformation of power relations, integrating democracy goals into socio-economic sectors. By examining inequality, exclusion, social structures, and discrimination, this activity will foster a more just and accountable society in Uganda.

To that end, the activity will empower people to demand and assert their rights, and help increase the capacity of duty bearers to provide rights. While duty bearers are accountable for respecting, protecting, and fulfilling human rights, rights holders need to promote and defend their freedoms.

Finally, the rights-based approach will require an examination of inequality, exclusion, social structures, and discrimination. |
