DanChurchAid (Uganda)

DCA Uganda primarily works in three thematic areas, with a strong focus on women and youth.

Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus 
The Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus programme supports refugees, displaced persons, and refugee hosting communities to access immediate lifesaving assistance and to participate in long-term, development interventions for self-reliance and sustainable livelihoods.

The main interventions include cash transfers, Financial Inclusion (linking Village Savings and Loans Associations to financial institutions), supporting agricultural value chains, including equitable access to markets, and promoting energy and environment conservation. This is in addition to promoting peaceful co-existence between refugees and host communities.

Build Resilience 
DCA Uganda supports marginalized women, men and youths increased access to land and other natural resources in a climate and environmentally responsible way. The aim is to enable the marginalized groups to improve their income and food security, as well as to build economic, social, and environmental resilience.

Key interventions include advocacy on land rights and pro-poor land policies, as well as supporting improved production and productivity of agricultural value chains, inclusive access to markets, and effective private sector engagement. This is in addition to promoting climate resilience and agro-ecology, disaster risk reduction, green livelihoods, financial inclusion, and youth empowerment (skilling).

Fighting Extreme Inequality 
DDCA Uganda works with partners to ensure that marginalised persons participate in and influence decision-making processes and hold duty bearers accountable in upholding human rights and in securing equitable and sustainable development. Key interventions include advocacy on Gender Justice and Social Justice, peaceful co-existence, social cohesion and inclusion, Social Accountability, and Business and Human Rights.
