CCG key programmes include; Constitutionalism and Constitutional Literacy through Hope Initiative a university student’s programme, Social Justice Campaigns, Public Interest Litigation, Research and Documentation including citizen’s civic engagements.
The Copyright Institute of Uganda (CIU) is duly incorporated in Uganda as a company limited by guarantee, focusing on the promotion of copyright as the first step to prepare Uganda for a knowledge-based economy. CIU aims to boost the creative arts through litigation, sensitisation, advocacy and research. It has engaged different artists to ensure there is a platform that brings their interest together and offers legal advisory services to the various creative arts associations. CIU has a teaching syllabus that is tailored to the context that applies to Uganda and is also simplified, given the different levels of the artist in the country.
The Human Rights Network for Journalists-Uganda (HRNJ-Uganda) is a network of human rights journalists in Uganda working towards enhancing the promotion, protection and respect of human rights through defending and strengthening the capacities of journalists. It monitors and documents journalists’ rights, violations and abuses in Uganda and contributes towards realising media freedoms and good governance in the country. The organisation is currently a one-stop centre for journalists in Uganda where they seek support in terms of defending the media freedom space and other union issues due to absence of a strong National Journalist Institutions and Associations.
