Background information about AINU 

 
Africa Initiative for the Needy Uganda (AINU) is an organization of Ugandans dedicated to helping people of Uganda and Africa at large joining the modern world in development projects. The organization is a non-government organization, which is dully registered and it began its operation in January 2003 and got registered in the year 2006, it is under a well-trained and skilled staff.    


AINU has now become a strong grassroots membership-based organization, medium-sized, and professional NGO working to help the people with disabilities, aged, youth, women,  to reduce poverty and improving on the livelihoods of the poor communities. AINU operates for Districts of Kampala, Masaka, Kalangala; Kayunga its Head office is located at Mubaraka zone, Makindye division, Kampala district.  AINU has a highly qualified and experienced multi-disciplinary core team of over 12 permanent in-house professionals, and the majority with development bias.  Through a number of activities so far undertaken, AINU has established itself as a “leading NGO and key actor” within the civil society in Uganda, contributing to sustainable livelihoods of the resource poor, good governance in development resources management, sustainable development and poverty reduction among the poor communities and the entire country Uganda. The profile of the organization as an important partner and actor in fighting rural poverty among the needy groups and communities has certainly been established.

AINU is thus playing a complimentary role with the existing government efforts, as an external agent (catalyst), in community development initiatives and the new co-management system and thus contributing to the overall national development goals / agendas. 


AINU undertakes this through the provision of services / assistance in defining problems; providing independent advices, ideas and expertise; guiding joint problem-solving and decision-making; and continuing to advocate for appropriate policies.

Beyond this, AINU has continued to undertake the following; training and education on (leadership and organizational management); situational analysis and problem-solving; consensus building; livelihood and enterprises management; conflict management; advocacy; facilitation; networking; socio-economic monitoring and evaluation; and facilitation in the development of good communication channels and open discussions as well as the promotion of dialogue between the needy groups and community members and governments (national and local governments) through meetings and forum for discussions.

AINU is an active member to both national and local relations and has managed to make friends from USA, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. This has enabled AINU to network, share information and experience as well as link national, regional and international issues in practice and to shape policies at all levels.  AINU has, therefore, emerged as a credible voice for the resource poor needy groups and communities in Uganda.
