NAC works with young citizens organised in grassroots community-based organisations, building their skills in evidence-based advocacy and transformational leadership and providing platforms to engage government duty bearers. Its work seeks to influence local and national governance and development processes, pro-youth policies and budgeting, and sustainable, climate-resilient development in urban slum communities. NAC operates across Northern, West Nile, Eastern, Western, Central and Greater Kampala Metropolitan regions and works with 89 youth-led community-based organisations. It was founded as a network by beneficiaries of an earlier Active Citizens programme run with the British Council.
