Our two part-time coordinators have different tasks. Ruth Sebugya, is responsible for the libraries sponsored by a Canadian NGO called Under the Reading Tree (UTRT), for which UgCLA acts as agent. Brenda Musasizi, serves UgCLA’s other members, administers projects, and takes care of records and publicity.
UgCLA’s Board develops general policies and makes recommendations on constitutional issues to the Annual General Meeting. The issues are then decided by a vote. A Steering Committee comprising the Chair, the Treasurer, and the general coordinator makes day-to-day operating decisions.
