Human rights are at the top of our agenda. We believe that this precedes any other issue, be it economic growth or development, for these cannot be achieved without a conducive climate of pluralism and good management. Genuine democracy is the goal. The Coalition for Democracy in Uganda brings together all friends of Uganda in North America and Europe and Ugandans in the Diaspora to encourage and support financially and otherwise a Coalition of Opposition Parties in order to present a common front against forces of self-interest and self -aggrandizement. It is therefore non partisan in terms of Ugandan politics, for it invites and embraces the generosity of Americans, Canadians, Europeans and others in a spirit of brotherhood with a vision of lasting peace and progress for Ugandans.
