Anti Corruption Coalition Uganda Information

It has a network of nine (9) Regional Anti-Corruption Coalitions (RACCs) in Uganda. ACCU was formed on August 1999 as a brainchild of 10 organisations and individuals who had tried to fight corruption in their individual capacity but their efforts were inconsequential. These include Uganda Debt Network, MS Uganda, Oxfam GB, Transparency International - Uganda, FIDA - Uganda, Uganda Women's Network (UWONET), DENIVA, UCAA, FABIO and UNATU. The coalition then existed as a loose arrangement until 2003 when the Annual General Meeting sitting at Human Rights Network (HURINET-Uganda) took the decision to have it formally registered as an independent body. In 2004, ACCU was registered with both the NGO Board and the Registrar of Companies to become a body corporate with powers to sue and be sued; and with perpetual succession and a common seal. Since inauguration, ACCU has been surviving on donor support and membership subscriptions. ACCU started with support from MS Uganda as the main donor and as years went by, ACCU started receiving funds from Action Aid Uganda and DANIDA. To date, ACCU has a consortium of donors ranging from DGF, Action aid Uganda, UNDP, Care Uganda, DanChurch Aid, Partnerships for Transparency fund, Twaweza amongst others. Vision: "A transparent and corruption free society"
