Uganda – DGRV

About the Project

DGRV endeavours to implement measures to promote cooperative structures in Uganda as a contribution to strengthening and improving livelihood in rural communities. One of the key guiding principles is the emphasis on medium- and long-term development cooperation to facilitate structural improvements and sustainable capacity building.

In September 2019, DGRV received the permit from the National Bureau of Non-Governmental Organisations to operate as an International NGO in Uganda.

The project is funded by the BMZ – Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and is currently running until the end of 2020.
