Our background, institutional identity, thematic focus, and leadership.
ENCOT Foundation is a Ugandan non-governmental organisation established in 2006 in Masindi District by indigenous community development practitioners. It began as a community-based organisation and later transitioned in 2021 into a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, formalising its governance and long-term development mandate.
Institutional milestone: 2025 marked the Foundation’s inaugural full year as a fully staffed, policy-equipped, and field-active stand-alone development entity.
Footprint: 19 years in communities, 4 core staff hires in 2025, 5 thematic areas, and a USD 350,000 grant secured to strengthen programme delivery and growth.
ENCOT Foundation works through practical community systems, institutional partnerships, farmer organisation, and inclusive service models that improve resilience, access, and livelihoods.
The annual report clarifies the Foundation’s current structure around five interconnected thematic areas.
The primary thematic driver, led through AVCAM and structured farmer value chain support.
Digital systems, SAAVE, KoboToolbox, and organisational learning tools that support scale.
Resource efficiency, value addition, and waste-to-value approaches to strengthen rural incomes.
Integrated WASH-agriculture entry points designed for activation through future partnerships and grants.
Climate-smart adaptation, ESG integration, and resilience planning grounded in field realities.
Governance, MEL, resource mobilisation, and alliances that make sustainable scale possible.
The Foundation strengthened its governance, staffing, compliance, and operations during the year.
Nine institutional policies were finalised, Board structures were operationalised, and compliance systems progressed across finance, HR, safeguarding, procurement, and anti-fraud.
Four core positions were filled, operational bank accounts were established, and staff took part in grant writing, ESG, and institutional strengthening activities.
