Advocacy
Most East Africans grapple with the lack of basic needs. Majority earn less than a dollar per day. Underneath this poverty, lies a disempowered people who lack the capacity and knowledge to advocate for the realisation of their basic rights. The initial step to empowerment involves the provision of information to the public. Increase knowledge on social justice issues will enable the public to appreciate the issues and provide support to social justice work.

Ufadhili Trust facilitates this objective through activities that:
  • Facilitate public discourse on social justice and resource mobilisation issues affecting East Africans.  
  • Involve the conducting of research, production of occasional papers, and dissemination of information on social justice and local resource mobilisation.  
  • Entail collaboration with institutions interested in the conduct of research, education, or public discussions on local resource mobilisation and social justice.  
  • Develop strategies to enhance the effective mobilisation of local resources for social justice in collaboration with partners.  
  • Build networks and organisational partnerships aimed at promoting social justice, e.g., The Citizens’ Assembly, and an enabling environment for civil society, e.g., Tax Incentive Initiative and the working group on NGO recognition and the promotion of good practices in civil society
