Mission and objectives

ERONet (Enabling Rural Opportunity Network), formally ACDA(Agoro community Development Association) is a grassroots organization based in Lamwo District, Northern Uganda, supporting rural women and girls, refugee populations, and post-conflict communities. Since 2001, ERONet has evolved from an informal IDP support group into a legally registered CBO with a mission to tackle gender inequality, economic hardship, and social exclusion. Our goal is to empower women, girls, and vulnerable rural populations in post-conflict settings to achieve economic independence, gender equality, and social inclusion through community-driven, sustainable, and rights-based programs.
