Welcome to the NGO Quality Assurance Certification Mechanism (QuAM)


TOWARDS A PUBLICLY ACCOUNTABLE NGO SECTOR IN UGANDA.
The QuAM has been specifically developed for what is known in our country as ‘NGOs' and ‘NGO networks.' A network is defined as a network of non-governmental organisations, that is registered with the NGO Board or district authorities, and that brings together other organisations and/or individuals as its members.

Welcome to QuAM

The QuAM goes beyond any single existent code of conduct (such as those currently operated by networks and other ‘apex' NGOs); it is based on clearly defined Quality Standards and sets out implementation modalities, including sanctions in the case of any breach.
