Strategic Direction

A roadmap to deepen rights, leadership & inclusion.

Lamicare DRO Uganda's 2026 to 2030 direction builds on the mission we've held since day one, and sharpens it. Guided by dignity and justice, we're scaling programmes, deepening accountability, and ensuring persons with disabilities shape the decisions that affect their lives.

A society where persons with disabilities lead, thrive and shape their communities

Why this direction. Why now.

Lamicare DRO Uganda's 2026 to 2030 direction builds on our mission to uphold the dignity of persons with disabilities through robust advocacy, leadership development, inclusive education, sustainable livelihoods, civic participation and strategic partnerships.

It is rooted in community leadership, including strong representation of persons with disabilities on our Board, and aligned with Uganda's disability and inclusion frameworks, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals that advance equality, education, decent work and reduced inequalities.

This is not a rebrand. It is a deepening: sharper strategies, bolder targets, and more rigorous accountability to the persons with disabilities we exist to serve.
