Welcome to MICOD
The Midwestern Region Centre for Democracy and Human Rights (MICOD) is dedicated to empowering marginalized communities—women, youth, elderly, and children—by increasing their access to essential services. Since 2008, we have promoted sustainable development, human rights, and democratic principles across eight districts: Masindi, Buliisa, Kibaale, Kiryandongo, Kikuube, Hoima, Kakumiro, and Kagadi.
Our work focuses on human rights awareness, strengthening citizen participation in health and education services in refugee host communities, and advocating for environmental conservation and responsible natural resource management. Join us in building a brighter, more equitable future for all.
