Who we are
Civic Response on Environment and Development (CRED) is a non-partisan, not-for profit, public interest oriented policy research and advocacy organization registered under Ugandan laws and based in Kampala-Uganda. CRED addresses the disconnect between policy documents and national level interventions with the reality in communities. We achieve this by implementing a range of activities with the view of empowering and facilitating the local people to demand for reforms and rule of law.
What we do

We assess the level of implementation of relevant policies and laws, identify gaps and make constructive recommendations.
LEGAL AID & PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION
We organize legal aid clinics and offer court representation in all of the project districts for local people to access justice.
COMMUNITY DIALOGUES
We organize interfaces between communities and duty bearers
sensitization and capacity building
