More than twenty-five years have elapsed and AMICAALL continues to soar by strengthening the capacity of elected and technical leaders in oversight, stewardship, accountability; coordination, planning, resource mobilization, advocacy, lobby, community mobilization for effective and efficient delivery of health services. This long journey has been possible through the support from development and implementing partners and untiring membership contributions.
As an Alliance, it is natural that the organization has faced a number of challenges such as limited resources both human and capital, change of development partners’ funding direction, and effects of COVID 19 and the scare of new pandemic like Ebola. However, significant achievements have been made in strengthening capacity of urban leaders on governance, supporting advocacy agenda both at national and local government levels, capacity building of urban authorities for a strong health response.
In the years to come, AMICAALL will focus on scaling up its programmes to reach a wider urban constituency and also ensure the sustainability of its achievements made over the years.
I would like to implore all the urban Local Government fraternity, including Mayors, Town Clerks, Local Coordinators as well as our development and implementing partners to continue to supporting the AMICAALL Programme because the future of Uganda is in good management of the rapid urbanization.
On behalf of the Alliance Executive Council, I would like to thank the AMICAALL National Technical Advisory Committee (ANTAC), the Urban Authorities, Auditors, development partners and other stakeholders for the continual support and advice to the AMICAALL Uganda Chapter. The Executive Council is grateful to the Acting Country Director and her staff for their dedication and hard work for the success of the Alliance of Mayors. I wish to thank my colleagues that serve with on the Executive Council, for their insightful advice and untiring support to AMICAALL Uganda Chapter. As the Executive Council (2022-2026), we pledge to continue supporting the urban authority initiatives that contribute to the national and international agenda.
Together for a healthy urban population free from HIV & AIDS and other health challenge
