The Human Rights Centre Uganda (HRCU) has issued a Call for Expressions of Interest seeking suitable grassroots organisations and media actors to participate in establishing a structured human rights monitoring framework across West Nile and Karamoja. The initiative is being implemented in partnership with key state and non-state actors under the Civic Space Improvement Project, which is funded through the Programme on Accountability, Civic Engagement, and Rights (PACER). The call is intended to identify organisations operating in targeted districts that have the capacity and interest to monitor, document, and report human rights cases and contribute to evidence-based advocacy and accountability. About the Civic Space Improvement Project The Civic Space Improvement Project is designed to strengthen civic participation, human rights monitoring, accountability, and the ability of grassroots organisations to contribute to policy and legislative reform. Under Output 2.3, the project focuses specifically on supporting grassroots organisations to effectively monitor, document, and report cases involving human rights and civic space concerns. The information generated through these activities can contribute to evidence-based advocacy, legislative and policy reform, and stronger accountability mechanisms. HRCU’s current call seeks organisations capable of contributing to this process at the community and local level. Target Areas The opportunity is focused on organisations and media actors operating within the targeted districts of two regions of Uganda: West Nile Karamoja The call is therefore particularly relevant to community-based organisations, civil society groups, grassroots organisations, and media actors already working within these areas. Organisations applying should ensure that their operations and experience are relevant to the geographical scope of the initiative. Who Is Being Sought? HRCU is seeking expressions of interest from suitable and interested grassroots organisations, including media actors, operating in the targeted districts. The initiative is intended to strengthen the ability of local actors to identify and document human rights concerns within their communities and contribute credible information to wider advocacy and accountability processes. Organisations with existing community networks and experience in human rights, civic engagement, documentation, media, advocacy, or related areas may be particularly relevant to the call. Key Areas of Engagement Selected organisations are expected to contribute to a structured human rights monitoring framework designed to improve the collection and reporting of information from communities. The project places emphasis on several interconnected activities, including: Monitoring human rights situations at grassroots level. Documenting cases and incidents. Reporting human rights concerns through appropriate channels. Generating evidence for advocacy. Supporting legislative and policy reform. Strengthening accountability. Increasing the capacity of grassroots organisations to contribute to civic space monitoring. Through these activities, the project aims to strengthen the connection between community-level human rights concerns and broader advocacy and accountability mechanisms. Importance of Grassroots Human Rights Monitoring Grassroots organisations and local media actors can play an important role in identifying human rights concerns because they often work directly with communities and have an understanding of local social, political, and economic contexts. A structured monitoring framework can help ensure that information is documented consistently and responsibly, creating stronger evidence for advocacy and policy engagement. The approach also supports greater participation of local organisations in processes designed to protect civic space and promote respect for human rights.
