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.
Why MPs need seven-year term to serve the country

Roger Sherman, the only signer of all four founding documents of the US said in 1788: “Nothing renders government more unstable than a frequent change of the persons that administer it.” And I agree with him. A five-year term for MPs charged with passing laws, scrutinising government policy and administration, debating matters of topical interest, vetting the appointment of persons nominated by the President seems rather brief, the nature of which present constraints for their duty execution. I have jotted down seven reasons in defence of this:
Less disruption of our lives. For the people who are focused on trade and development, elections disrupt the smooth running of our economy. The chaos and conflict which characterise our campaigns and elections lead to international travel warnings.

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.
