Affective Advocacy and Policy Making

The SRA Uganda Limited aims to embed processes, systems, and capacity for developing quality laws and policies.

The SRA focuses on lobbying for change and building capacity in private sector and civil society organizations (CSOs) to provide high-quality analytical and evidence-based input into the policy and law-making process.

Challenges in the current policy and law-making process include limited access to decision-makers, inadequate consultation with affected stakeholders, and insufficient attention to the costs of legislative action on business and the economy.

SRA Uganda Limited focuses on evidence-based policy solutions to address various challenges. Efforts are underway to improve the policy development capacity of the Ugandan Public Service, but there is still progress to be made.
