Our Story

Vine Centre for Advocacy International (VICAI) is a Uganda-based advocacy and policy firm dedicated to advancing social justice, inclusive development, accountable leadership, and democratic governance. The Centre works with vulnerable and marginalized communities, public institutions, civil society organizations, development partners, and citizens to influence policies, strengthen leadership capacities, and promote responsive governance systems.
