Uganda civil society leaders and executives from different organisations have gone through a two day training at Millennium Hotel Bukoto in Kampala on good governance and ethical conduct being at the heart of leadership and upholding the highest standards in decision making, resource management and community engagement organized by Fidelis leadership institute and Austria Development agency.
This training also strengthened the capacity of civil society actors not only within their organization but also in their advocacy and partnership with Public institutions by combining service delivery with principled advocacy and evidence based lobbying with civil society society Organizations helping to expand access to essential services and enhance quality of public services while building a culture of integrity that benefits all citizens.
Civil society Organizations play a crucial role in promoting social, accountability, civil participation and equitable development and also shaping societies founded on justice, accountability and respect for human dignity and this work goes beyond filling gaps in service delivery but also empowering communities, amplifying voices and engaging government to ensure that public services are equitable, inclusive and of the highest quality.
“Leadership is not merely about occupying a position but it’s about transforming Lives, influencing systems and shaping legacies and in every season of our nation’s journey we have seen that most profound impact comes from leaders who combine knowledge with integrity, authority with humility and ambition with accountability, said Pheona Wall the Executive Director of Fedelis Leadership institute.
Good governance and ethical conduct lie at the heart of this leadership and ethical conduct means acting with integrity, transparency, fairness and respect for the truth even when no one is watching, said Dr. Katja Kerschbauner, the Head of Austrian Embassy
