The American Bar Association Fund for Justice and Education (ABA FJE) received a $987,654 Project Grant award from the Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) to enhance the capacity of defenders and local communities to safely advocate for greater environmental protection at the national and regional levels in Uganda.
The grant funding will support ABA FJE's work under DRL's International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor program (CFDA 19.345) between September 2022 and September 2024. Specifically, ABA FJE will work to address human rights abuses and open political space in Uganda by strengthening the ability of local advocates and communities to safely defend environmental rights against threats. The parent organization, the American Bar Association, will oversee grant implementation activities.
