Pillars of Our Engagement
The Convention is built upon three non-negotiable pillars that govern every VISO-UG initiative, ensuring ethical impact and long-term viability.
Inclusivity
Every voice matters. We mandate the full participation and representation of marginalized groups, women, and youth in all decision-making structures.
Sustainability
We are committed to long-term solutions that are environmentally sound, economically self-reliant, and resilient against future political and climate shocks.
Local Ownership
All initiatives must be directed and led by local community leaders. We act as facilitators, providing resources and expertise rather than imposing solutions.
The Core Articles of Implementation
These articles detail the specific operational commitments and targets across our three primary intervention areas.
II.
Educational & Digital Equity
Focus: Expanding access to quality education, particularly vocational skills and digital literacy, for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and youth in underserved rural areas.
III.
Microfinance & Economic Stabilization
Focus: Providing small business grants, microloans, and cooperative development support to women and returned ex-combatants to foster self-sustaining local economies.
IV.
Regional Health & Wellness
Focus: Enhancing primary healthcare access and mental health support services, critical for communities recovering from prolonged conflict and displacement.
Commit to the Vision
The Convention is a powerful instrument for change. We invite organizations, governments, and individuals to become signatories and partners in realizing a peaceful future for East Africa.
