Our Programmes

Six permanent programme areas forming the backbone of UAS activity across Uganda.

Programme Architecture

Each permanent programme is led by a Programme Lead responsible for programme development, annual objectives, activity planning, member participation, technical coordination, reporting and continuity. Working groups are created when needed and dissolved once their purpose is complete — keeping UAS lean, flexible and activity-oriented.
