The Anti-Corruption Coalition Uganda, abbreviated as ACCU, is a Ugandan civil society advocacy organization whose primary aim is to fight against corruption in Uganda. It has a network of nine (9) Regional Anti-Corruption Coalitions (RACCs) in the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Anti-Corruption Coalition Uganda (ACCU) )〕 ACCU was founded in 1999 as a brainchild of 10 organisations and individuals who had fruitlessly tried to fight corruption in their individual capacity and so found relevancy in pursuing their common goal as a group. The coalition then existed as a loose arrangement until 2004 when it was formally registered as an independent body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= About Us )〕 The anti-graft body’s initiatives are primarily aimed at empowering grassroots communities to effectively engage Local Governments to act against corruption and strengthen good governance. In collaboration with national partners and networks, ACCU does advocate against corruption at a national level. ACCU’s efforts are implemented in cohorts with different stakeholders like the media, civil society organizations (CSOs), religious leaders and groups, individual activists, academicians and other key institutions involved in the fight against corruption in Uganda. The nonprofit organization survives on donor support and membership subscriptions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= UWONET is a member of )〕 Over the years, ACCU has helped expose corrupt officials and practices in the private and public sectors of Uganda notably through publications like ''The Black Monday Newsletter'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Black Monday Movement )〕 themed anti-corruption events like the ''Anti-Corruption Caravan'' and the ''Anti-Corruption Week (ACW)'' as well as regular corruption related news on its official website and online resource centre among others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The anti corruption caravan hits Soroti town )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Already results from Anti-Corruption week )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Activists re-brand Black Monday )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The 20th Edition of the Black Monday Movement Newsletter )〕 ==History == ACCU was formed on August 1999 as a brainchild of 10 organisations and individuals who had tried to fight corruption in their individual capacity but their efforts were inconsequential. These were; Uganda Debt Network, MS Uganda, Oxfam GB, Transparency International–Uganda, FIDA–Uganda, Uganda Women’s Network (UWONET), DENIVA, UCAA, FABIO and UNATU.〔 The coalition then existed as a loose arrangement until 2003 when the Annual General Meeting sitting at Human Rights Network Uganda (HURINET-U) took the decision to have it formally registered as an independent body. In 2004, ACCU was registered with both the NGO Board and the Registrar of Companies for Uganda to become a body corporate with powers to sue and be sued; and with perpetual succession and a common seal. Since inauguration, ACCU has been surviving on donor support and membership subscriptions. ACCU started with support from MS Uganda as the main donor and as years went by, the anti-graft body started receiving funds from ActionAid Uganda and DANIDA. To date, ACCU has a consortium of donors ranging from The Democratic Governance Facility (DGF), ActionAid Uganda, UNDP, DanChurchAid, Partnership for Transparency Fund, CARE Uganda, Twaweza among others.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ACCU Uganda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
