UCRNN is a membership coalition of community-based, national, and international organizations that share a commitment to advancing the rights of children in Uganda.
Our membership brings together skills, knowledge, resources, and commitment from across the child-rights sector. Each member contributes distinct expertise and spheres of influence within their thematic areas and, in turn, gains the collective strength, visibility, learning, and reach of a 150-strong national network. Membership is both a contribution and an opportunity: by joining, organizations strengthen the sector as a whole while advancing their
own mission for children.
