ACODE in partnership with the West Nile Local Government Association (WENDA) and Karamoja Herders of the Horn (KHH) is implementing a four-year project in West Nile and Karamoja, titled “Strengthening Civic Engagement, Voice, Service Delivery, and Climate Justice for Improved Accountability in Uganda”. This project seeks to contribute to government effort by implementing targeted interventions to strengthen civic competence and state actors’ capabilities to deliver better services, ensure public accountability and advance environmental rights and climate justice.

In 2025, the National Forestry Authority (NFA) entered into a Collaborative Forest Management (CFM) agreement with St. Ejito Eyere Eyere Group, a community group based in Lire Village, Lima Parish, Ludara Sub-county, Koboko District. As part of this project, ACODE intends to enhance the capacity of most affected vulnerable communities living near forests in West Nile, to participate and contribute to sustainable forestry governance, through dialogue, increased community involvement, collaboration and engagement.

The primary objective of this assignment is to review the Governance documents and assess their adequacy in enabling the functionality of the CFM to be able to implement the CFM plan.
