About Us

Welcome to SFGD

Students for Global Democracy Uganda is a student-led nonprofit and non-partisan organization founded in 2005 that inspires young people, principally students, to adopt and promote principles of leadership, good governance and sustainability with the goal of greater youth participation in democratic processes and sustainable development efforts in Uganda and the outside world.

SGD Uganda has set out to empower students and youth to participate effectively in the democratization process. SGD Uganda seeks to become a platform from which to help youth advocate and lobby for their needs and priorities, particularly sustainable development, accountable governance, conflict resolution/prevention, and social justice for all Ugandans.

Our Uniqueness

Our Uniqueness

Students for Global
Democracy-Uganda

Whereas there are many players in the area of Democracy, all interventions so far have targeted adults leaving out the participation of young people although they are the direct beneficiaries.

Students for Global Democracy-Uganda recognizes that young people themselves must understand the importance of Democracy and take steps to work out what is best for them, what works and what does not work and be able to come up with practical solutions related to Democracy.
