|Description=African Center for Trade and Development (ACTADE) was initially established in November 2000 as a technical discussion group for trade related issues. Over time, ACTADE developed core competencies relation to issues around trade, climate change action, policy and development issues. ACTADE has focused on strengthening stakeholders’ capacity to influence trade, citizen participation in national budget processes and related policies at Llcal, national and regional levels for sustainable development and improved livelihoods in Uganda. We also work to influence the promotion and enjoyment of social, political and economic rights by all and advise government on a) priority setting for the national budget and monitor its implementation in selected sectors and districts; b) climate change adaptation measures that support communities to anticipate and build resilience to impacts of climate change; c) ensure that no one is left behind, especially not the women, youths, nor persons with disability.

Our mission is to support communities to influence policy for socio-economic development.
Our Vision is an empowered society promoting good governance and sustainable development.

To realize this, we are collaborating with international and national organizations. Currently, we are engaging in projects around climate change education, knowledge brokering for locally-led adaptation as well as acting as an interim fund manager for the Least Developed Countries initiative for effective adaptation and resilience in Uganda.
