About FOSCOD
FOSCOD is a registered indigenous Ugandan NGO working with underserved communities to lead practical, sustainable development. Our work connects environmental innovation and clean energy with community knowledge, skills and partnerships.
Community Empowerment and Development supports locally led action; Global Learning Exchange connects communities and host organizations with students, volunteers, researchers and practitioners. Together, they link six programme areas to lasting local capacity and ethical development practice.
