Annual Report 2022

The year 2022 was a fruitful one since CIDI was able to achieve big milestones. This report presents the outstanding achievements registered during the course of the year 2022 which were generally, in terms of the targets achieved, the new projects that emerged, the successful annual review of the annual operational plans, and 25 years celebrations. Community-Integrated Development Initiatives (CIDI) has continued to align its interventions with its strategic focus areas. This has guided its strategic direction and attainment of a number of strategic targets. These targets were derived from the overall strategic plan 2021-2025 but also from the gaps identified in the implementation of the 2021 annual operational plans. The report unfolds these key achievements recorded during the year 2022 across CIDI operations in Uganda and outside.

During the year 2022, CIDI celebrated 25 years since its founding in 1997. The organization has throughout those years legally operated under registration certificate No. 2715 and reference No. S-5914/2868. CIDI has a national operating license allowing her mandate to stretch operations across the country. CIDI has remained focused on her core program thematic areas of Agriculture, water and sanitation, Health promotion, Advocacy and good governance, and youth vocational skilling. CIDI’s focus priority is on the most disadvantaged communities in rural and urban areas including refugees.

CIDI operations are driven by the vision to have “Communities enjoying a decent life free of hunger, poverty and disease”. The Mission is to enhance sustainable community livelihoods through Income and food security, Water and Sanitation, good health and policy advocacy. The driving core values of CIDI are; Accountability and transparency, teamwork, community participation, result-oriented and integrity.

CIDI programs have continued to reach and address the very needs of the target communities/beneficiaries. Stakeholder involvement and participation in CIDI activities has been extremely supportive to the attainment of the achievements of the year.

A number of challenges emerged during the year and these partly affected some of the planned activities for the year 2022. These include; the high rates of inflation in the country which caused the fuel prices to hike indirectly affecting the prices of all other commodities.
