Joint Context Analysis UGANDA Final report JCA-NGA group for Uganda Oct 2015 2 Dislaimer/neutrality The text of the JCA is meant to reflect the exchanges among organisations about their point of view from a technical and operational perspective. Specific viewpoints, based on the information in this context analysis, are only binding whenever it’s explicitly referred to as an organisation’s viewpoint; hence they are no shared points of view for all participating organisations. Moreover, the information that is cited cannot be considered as a political or ideological judgment of the organisations. Legal base This Joint Context Analysis of Uganda leans on the law on Belgian Development cooperation (19/03/2013 altered by the law of 09/01/2014) art 2- 6°/7 and the Royal Decree of April 24th 2014, art 14 § 1 & 2. The Law on Development Cooperation art. 2-6°/7 states: "The context analysis aimed at civil society, the decentralised administrations and public institutions and the conditions which enable their strengthening, prepared by several ANGC based on their own context analyses and similar exercises conducted in the country or the region" This Joint Context Analysis aims at an analysis of the context in Uganda and of the opportunities to collaborate for the non-governmental actors (NGAs) from 2017 until 2026. This document should primarily be seen as an opportunity to identify possible ways of cooperation, complementarity and synergy. This document is not a presentation of specific programmes or projects but a projection excerise for the mid- to long-term. If this document will be approved, this JCA will become an important reference for: • The programmes that will be submitted to DGD, in which each specific objective will need to demonstrate how it takes into account at least one JCA; • A report on the implementation of the, in this document identified, opportunities for complementarity and synergy, to be submitted in 2019; • The allocation of DGD funding related to synergy initiatives. Together the participating NGAs submit this JCA for approval to the Belgian minister of Development Cooperation. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS 4 1.
