GOAL Uganda is humanitarian organisation that emphasises building community resilience and socio-economic development. Their focus lies in improving the lives of disadvantaged communities as demonstrated by their first activities in 1979, in response to the famine in Northern Uganda.

GOAL was one of the first members of the Make 12.4% Work Initiative and are committed to becoming more disability inclusive as an organization as well as within their programs. Disability inclusion assessments have already been conducted and Make 12.4% Work continues to follow up by supporting their actions.

Currently, GOAL uses a systems approach in the implementation of programmes in the water, sanitation & hygiene, agricultural livelihoods, and health systems strengthening sectors. The organisation’s mission statement revolves around ensuring that the most vulnerable individuals and communities have access to fundamental rights, from basic needs to economic opportunities. They envision a world where every individual has equal rights and access to resources and opportunities. GOAL currently operates in 21 districts in Uganda, with field offices in 5: Abim, Agogo, Bugiri, Kaabong and Lira. Their work in these communities has resulted in sustainable and meaningful outcomes.
