Background & Organizational Experience:
CAP-AIDS Uganda is a locally registered, Non-Profit & Charitable Organization. The organization was first registered as an NGO on April 13th, 2007 (S. 5914 / 6951) license was again renewed by the National NGO Board for yet another period of 5 years which expires in 2021.
CAP-AIDS Uganda works in partnership with grassroots Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) that are working in their communities to resist, survive and overcome socio-economic and health inequities and its impact in communities.
At the outset of all partnerships, CAP-AIDS Uganda assesses the organizational and programmatic strengths and weaknesses of grassroots Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). We then provide tailored capacity-building support to empower them as community development actors in their communities and work alongside them to implement projects using a ‘learning through doing’ model. Once we have developed a track record with a partner we then provide small grants to further support their capacity in HIV & AIDS prevention, care, and community development initiatives. This model respects CBOs as best positioned to implement sustainable activities within their communities due to their specific local knowledge, relationship, and commitment to project outcomes over the long term.
Since 2007, CAP-AIDS Uganda has worked with numerous CBOs in Uganda to support their efforts in the fight against HIV/AIDS epidemic. Some of the organizations are Dyer Tek PLWA Association, Ogaba P’Dano PLWA Association, Oribcing Association, and Mayam Mayam Association in the Acholi Sub-region, Agwata VHT Association, Lira Neighborhood Women Group, Opit Kic Association in Dokolo district, and Aboke Women HIV/AIDS Association in Kole district and Needy Support Center (NSC) in Kampala. The church has ben central in providing psychosocial support towards the affected populations that we serve including at the Friesen Harveys HoH where we receive Gender Based Violence survivors on an annual basis.
