📍“We are going to launch #QuAMPlus, a reimagined accountability mechanism for CSOs, built for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. Ethical leadership, transparency and local decision making start here.” Dr Isooba The NGO Forum #QuAMPlue #Localization #CSOAccountability

“Our desire is that this can be digitalised and co create a relevant tool with donors” The NGO Forum. From a paper based tool in 2006 to a new digital inclusive and locally led driven standard, #QuAMPlus is the next step in redefining accountability in Uganda’s CSO space.

“Why go through 5 different due diligence assessments from 5 donors? #QuAMPlus is designed to streamline due diligence, reducing duplication, saving costs and strengthening trust” Peter Magelah Dev’t Network of Indigenous Voluntary Associations #Efficiency

“Since last year, Dev’t Network of Indigenous Voluntary Associations The NGO Forum CARE Uganda embarked on a process to consult stakeholders on the current QuAM to make it fit for purpose. One of the big feedback is INGOs and donors are fed up with the pain of repeated Due diligence” Michael A. OPIO #QuAMPLUS

“The current QuAM assessment doesn’t speak to all the critical due diligence requirements of donors. Hence the consultative meetings on what we should improve, add, remove and the things we need to deepen and ground effectively”Michael A. OPIO on high level feedback from stakeholders

After over 20 years of QuAM positive impact to the Ugandan Civil Society sector, it has been relaunched for a greater impact to the sector as one of the pathways for a successful and sustainable #localizationagenda The NGO Forum Dev’t Network of Indigenous Voluntary Associations CARE Uganda UNHCR Uganda

“Over the past months, we have engaged with the sector at different levels, locations and thematic areas. There is general acceptability to reimagine #QuAM due to fatigue from multiple diligence processes. The key recommendation is to change the format of#QuAM” Mulindwa Moses

“There was a big issue around governance, the tool itself, and then digitalising it. The other feedback we got was lack of donor voice. Hence the need to bring on board all the skillsets that we need to ensure we have strong governance.” Michael Tugyetwena #QuAMPlus EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 EU in Uganda

“This is an important landmark for us in terms of initiating a systematic approach to #localisation. What we want to see is an increased share of LNAs in development and humanitarian funding and that donors increasingly rely on LNAs” - Bruno Rotival.UNHCR Uganda
