Participation & Inclusion
Participation & Inclusion
At Students for Global Democracy Uganda, we believe that true democracy thrives when all citizens—regardless of age, gender, disability, ethnicity, or socio-economic status—have equal opportunities to participate in governance processes and decision-making.
Our Participation & Inclusion programs aim to remove barriers that prevent marginalized groups from engaging in democratic processes and to create platforms that amplify diverse voices in governance dialogues.
