AICAD UGANDA COUNTRY OFFICE (UCO)

AICAD Uganda’s primary aim is poverty alleviation, by facilitating the local people to solve their problems. To do this, AICAD UCO works with public Universities and other institutions to filter and apply those aspects of research that are of practical significance to targeted users. These include public universities such as Makerere, Kyambogo, Mbarara, Gulu Busitema, Kabale, Muni and KIU. As part of its human capacity development, AICAD’s network has played useful roles in supporting young institutions, individual researchers (through graduate student’s research) and communities. Apart from Research and Development, AICAD has carried out many activities under Training and Extension (T&E) and Information Networking and Documentation (IN&D).

To date, AICAD has conducted activities in over 25 districts of Uganda. The districts include Sironko, Kampala, Kumi, Wakiso, Soroti, Mbarara, Masaka, Rakai, Kamuli, Kyenjojo, Iganga, Manafa, Mbale, Tororo, Busia, Mpigi, Nakasongola, Fort Portal, Sembabule, Bugiri, Kaliro, Kayunga, Mityana, Ntungamo and Gulu.
