Undertaking Advocacy Work to Promote Sustainable Development
The Uganda Coalition for Sustainable Development (UCSD) participatorily developed a three-year Advocacy and Lobbying Plan (2005 – 7) in 2004, with substantial input from its Thematic Groups (TGs), which sets the short to medium term framework and plan for undertaking the organization’s activities.
Uganda Coalition for Sustainable Development is a member of End Water Poverty as an achievement.
Without sanitation and water there can be no sustainable development in health, education and livelihoods, locking people into a cycle of poverty and disease. This crisis is one of inequality and poverty. If it is not tackled decisively, it will prevent and undermine progress made in reducing poverty, in achieving universal primary education, and improving people basic health. End Water Poverty aims to change policy and practices according to these key principles:
