In Uganda, where small-scale PLE projects have until now been undertaken by separate groups, NGOs have come together to form "CONSLA," a country network aimed at promoting the Street Law approach. The network includes FIDA-Uganda (The Ugandan Association of Women Lawyers), HURIPEC (the Human Rights and Peace Centre) and LAP (The Legal Aid Project of the Ugandan Law Society). Leadership on the project is provided by the Legal Aid Project, which coordinates the activities of CONSLA. The Legal Aid Project is an agency of the Ugandan Law Society. Through the arm of the Uganda Law Society, the LAP conducts programs that the law society deems will educate citizens on their legal rights and responsibilities.

Goals of the CONSLA are:
  1. Pilot public legal education projects in 3 schools in Kampala.
  2. Develop curriculum and write training manuals and materials.
  3. Train trainers in materials and participatory methodologies.
Activities conducted under this project include:

On Site Technical Assistance

Training of Trainers
