NGOs Appeal For Tax Exemptions to Stimulate Local Philanthropy
At a recent symposium, NGOs in Uganda urged the government to provide tax exemptions for charitable organizations to stimulate local generosity. Organized by the Uganda National NGO Forum and CivSource Africa, the event highlighted the challenges NGOs face, including bureaucratic hurdles and high operational costs. CivSource Africa CEO, Jacqueline Asiimwe, emphasized the importance of documenting local philanthropic efforts to change the narrative that Uganda relies solely on foreign aid.
