Rights Advocacy

Rights advocacy is a cross cutting programmatic area for ICD. We endeavor to put rights at the forefront of our development and inclusion agenda by making reference to antiquity, laws, policies, legislation and legitimate undertakings.

This also involves making reference to the global development agenda and the commitments thereof and, trends. Minority rights are a key concern to us even when cultures tend to be silent or repressive of them.

Our undertakings in this included: working with commercial Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) in the long hauler stop over centres in Namayemba, Naluwerere, Busowa and Idudi for free HIV counselling and Testing and on life and social skills required for attitude change; advocating for the entitlement to land and other capital assets for older persons in Kayunga and Budaka and; disability rights advocacy and inclusion in Namayingo and Mayuge districts.

We work with established community structures as well as political and district technical authorities.
