ACCU is implementing a 4-year project titled “Civic Engagement for Accountability Project (CEAP)”. The objective of the project is ‘To improve transparency and accountability among state and non-state actors in Uganda. The CEAP project is implemented in two major areas that is Karamoja sub-region and West Nile sub-region, and at national level. The districts of implementation include; Yumbe, Terego, Madi-Okollo, Obongi, Moroto, Napak, Nakapiripirit and Nabilatuk. The project seeks to address the problem of corruption while focusing on addressing 5 major causes that is; limited citizen capacity to hold government accountable, limited citizen engagement spaces, limited access to information and low responsiveness from leaders. The project also seeks to address these bottlenecks through; capacitating Local Government actors to respond to citizens’ accountability demands, engaging state actors on implementation of effective anti-corruption measures, capacity building for non-state actors to demand for accountability, supporting citizens to monitor and report on public services and expenditures, supporting engagements between citizens and state actors, increasing citizen access to information through awareness campaigns and strengthening ACCU and member capacities to spearhead accountability interventions.
