Information:Agency for Cooperation in Research and Development (ACORD-U) Uganda, formerly the Ugandan branch of ACORD international, has been actively involved in the country’s development and humanitarian efforts since 1979. As a local extension of ACORD International, it has evolved into a Ugandan National Non-Governmental Organization. Rooted in the belief that communities are the agents of change, ACORD-U operates with the goal of contributing to Uganda’s development.
