Several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) across the country have halted or downscaled activities weeks after the government suspended operations of the Democratic Governance Facility (DGF).
A number have temporarily stopped staff from working while others have introduced a shift model for employees to reduce costs.
The most affected civil society organisation (CSOs) include those engaged in accountability, human rights and good governance, democracy, service delivery monitoring and capacity-building at national, regional and grassroots level.
Finance minister Matia Kasaija froze DGF operations on February 17 on orders of President Museveni, who on February 2, argued that more than Shs500b donor-bankrolled kitty required government oversight.

Summary
The AG report does not include an audit into the Shs10b that was appropriated by Parliament and shared by MPs, each getting Shs20m purportedly to help them support their electorates during the lockdown last year.
After extended disagreements between Parliament and President Museveni, the benefitting MPs were directed to return the money to the Consolidated Fund account in Bank of Uganda or hand it over to their respective Covid-19 district task forces.

Uncertainty yesterday loomed large over the future of civil society organisations in the country after President Museveni ordered that operations of Democratic Governance Facility (DGF), their principal funder, be “immediately suspended”.
President Museveni ordered the Inspector General of Government (IGG), police and State House Anti-Corruption Unit to investigate how the Ministry of Finance authorised the DGF to operate in Uganda and allegedly bankroll NGOs and government agencies to undermine him.
The DGF is financed by governments of Denmark, Ireland, Austria, UK, Sweden, Norway and the European Union, with an aim of ensuring equitable growth, poverty eradication, rule of law and long term stability in Uganda.
