Government deals heavy blow to NGOs

Daily Monitor Thursday February 04 2021 Summary Advertisement 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.
