About URLCODA

The acronym URLCODA stands for Uganda Rural Literacy and Community Development Association. Its emergence as a prominent grassroots organisation in West Nile region focusing on literacy as a crucial tool for realising socio-economic transformation among the rural poor is greatly attributed to the voluntary efforts of Mr. Willy Ngaka who is currently a PhD candidate at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It is an indigenous not for profit organisation registered with the National NGO Board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uganda. In its organisational structure, there is a Board which comprises of 5 members (3 ladies and 2 gentlemen) elected by the General Assembly to handle policy issues and give direction to the organisation. Its day-to-day activities are run by the Secretariat headed by a Director who works hand in hand with the National Liaison Officer. At the moment, all the 24 people working in the secretariat are volunteers.
