In early 2011, DRI Uganda in fulfilling its strategic direction of growth initiated the upgrading to a fully

DRI-Uganda’s program interventions are implemented by an entirely indigenous staff, guided by evidence-based strategies developed alongside communities themselves and focused on the sustainable utilization and leveraging of local resources and expertise. Following an integrated approach to sustainable
