ISER is an independent nonprofit human rights organization with a mission to enhance realization of social and economic rights through innovative approaches to research, capacity building, social mobilization and advocacy
ISER welcomes the Cabinet’s landmark decision to expand SAGE eligibility age from 80yrs to 65yrs, and to increase the transfer value from UGX 25,000 to UGX 35,000. This is a step toward aligning with Uganda’s National Social Protection Policy, which defines an older person as 60 years and above.

Don't punish school girls for getting pregnant. A pregnant girl is often punished harsher than her sexual abuser. Leaders frame teenage pregnancy as a moral failing, ignoring its reality as a dev't emergency & a human rights crisis. Read Labila Sumayah Musoke's OpEd www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/oped/...
