Savings collectives in Uganda were first established in late 2002 when the Indian, South African and Kenyan Federations began to work with the Uganda Government to design and implement citywide slum upgrading programmes. Having just celebrated their ten year anniversary, the National Slum Dwellers Federation is presently comprised of 355 savings groups operating in six cities: Kampala, Arua, Jinja, Kabale, Mbale, and Mbarara. The federation has fostered strong relationships with the municipal and national government in Uganda, resulting in the launching of a series of collaborative slum upgrading projects centered around water and sanitation, housing development and resettlement. Actogether Uganda was founded in September 2006 to provide continuous support and technical assistance to the Federation.
