Unverified non-profit organisation

ACODEP is a registered community-based non-profit making, non-denomination organization. ACODEP was established to complement government efforts to address development challenges in the sectors of : livelihoods; environmental protection; education; health particularly reproductive health services; human rights, accountability and governance; social welfare and development of the poor, needy orphaned disadvantaged and vulnerable children in the community. This was arrived at after realizing that despite the proximity of Wakiso Sub County to Kampala, Uganda’s capital city, there are many poor and needy people particularly children and women. Besides, there are widespread issues pertaining to: widespread degradation of the environment and natural resources; needy and disadvantaged children, youth, and women; teenage pregnancies; SGBV; human health; education; human rights; governance and accountability and service delivery.

ACODEP’s goal is to alleviate poverty and enhance household livelihoods through solutions-based development approaches including: advocacy; strategic partnerships; sustainable utilization of environment and natural resources; and capacity building.

ACODEP offer services along nine (9) thematic areas; enhancing household livelihoods; environmental protection and natural resource management; health; education; gender and development; OVC; advocacy, human rights and governance; and working with persons with disabilities.

ACODEP empowers citizens to participate and monitor government programs to ensure effective service delivery by demanding for accountability from the Local Governments technocrats and politicians. Citizens were well informed about their obligations to observe, respect and abide by the laws of the country, while empowering them to demand for their rights and guard against any form of human rights abuse and violation.
Environmental and natural resources management component is considered the foundation of efforts to empower people and alleviate poverty. This is done bearing in mind that degradation of environmental and natural resources erodes the natural capital and therefore promoting wise use of environmental and natural resources through recycling, energy saving technologies, tree planting and conserving flora and faunal resources; helps to prolong the lifespan of these resources.
