Global Rights Alert (GRA) is the leading Non-Governmental Organization working to promote good governance of Uganda's natural resources. This encompasses oil, gas, metallic minerals, land, forests, and water bodies. Working with local communities, GRA facilitates access to information and provides platforms for participation in demanding for good governance, transparency and accountability. Because natural resource governance and exploitation can more often increase human rights risks and violations, GRA facilitates communities affected by natural resource developments to access justice. GRA supports communities by building their capacity to advocate for transparency and accountability in natural resource governance, monitor human rights trends and give them skills to meaningfully support the country's development programmes. Building on human rights standards and principles, GRA works to ensure that the livelihoods of vulnerable groups particularly women and children are promoted and protected and that the country achieves sustained prosperity
