HORIZONT3000 (Uganda)

As one of the first International NGOs, HORIZONT3000 opened a country office in Uganda in 1988, shortly after the civil war in most parts of Uganda had ended. The relatively stable, landlocked country in East Africa was dominated by preparations for the national elections scheduled for the beginning of 2016 which resulted in the re-election of long-term president Yoweri Museveni. The treatment of the opposition and its supporters was criticised by most observers. In November 2015 the new Non-Governmental Organisations Bill was passed by Parliament. The conditions for HORIZONT3000’s work in Uganda have remained positive. 12 technical advisors had been seconded to non-governmental and faith-based organisations and institutions in Northern, Central-Northern, Eastern and Central Uganda.HORIZONT3000
