Different entities have different definitions of CSR but the Board defines CSR as contributing either economically or socially to the sustainable development of the community. Annual CSR Progress Report 2017 Page 4 Foreword Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the process of how a company gives back to the Community. Companies may do this through donations to charities and other society activities like sports, health, education or community services. The National Gaming Board (NGB) under Act No 6 of 2016 is mandated to participate and contribute to good causes in accordance with the law. The National Gaming Board has issued a frame work for the implementation of CSR by the operators. This framework identifies a number of different options for CSR in Uganda. These areas are; education, sports, health and community activities. The CSR program is annual by each operator and is a condition for licensing. This report spells out the achievements made in the first year of licensing by each operator. The report shall be a baseline for the CSR activities going forward. I would like to extend the Board’s gratitude to operators who have been able to implement CSR, we look forward to improving the CSR implementation and promoting of good causes in society.
