Foreword
The Strategic Plan will guide the operations of the Forum for Democratic change
for the years 2014-2018. It will be implemented in conformity with the strategic
management principle of Tight with the Goal and Loose with the Means. The
Strategic goal where energies and capabilities will be aligned is to strengthen
the FDC Party and ensure that it is recognised as a party that is committed to
ensuring economic and social justice for all.
Conversely, any unforeseen/unanticipated changes in circumstances may call for
flexibility in regard to strategies to be adopted.
In case of any such
circumstances, the Party will remain focused (tight) to the goal but flexible with
means (strategies).
Strategically and to contribute to economic and social justice for all Ugandans,
FDC will adopt approaches that are focused to strengthening its institutional
development, developing a strong support base and positioning itself to radically
change the direction of politics and economic development of our country in
2016 and beyond.
The process of formulating this strategic plan was consultative and participatory
involving international partnership and membership of the Party. We thank the
International Republican Institute (IRI) and the Netherlands Institute for MultiParty Democracy-Interparty Organisation for Democracy (NIMD-IPOD) who, as key
partners provided the much needed guidance and funding for the strategy
development process. Special recognition is also made to members of the
National Executive Committee, MPs and District level leaders, whose participation
made it possible for the Party to see a big picture hence able to expand the
scope of operation. This strategy document represents the dawn in a new era for
the Party and we will bank on your continued support and commitment during the
implementation process.
Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to the Secretary General and the
Secretariat team for steering and bringing to completion the process of
developing the 2014-2018 FDC Strategic Plan. With the team at the Secretariat,
let me pledge that we shall do our best to bring this strategy to life in a manner
that will fulfill the aspirations of our members and ultimately contribute to
realizing the mission of the Forum for Democratic Change.

Introduction
This second FDC Strategic plan has drawn lessons and experiences from
implementation of the last Strategic Plan (2006-2011). The previous Strategic
Plan revealed that the party needs to have specific interventions that seek to
influence the context in order to ensure an enabling environment for elections to
take place. Secondly preparations for elections need to start years in advance,
especially establishing structures. This process requires heavy investment in
resources (human and material), consistent follow up and clear division of roles
and tasks.
In addition, the party also learnt that there is need to have a strategy to maintain
and expand its support base but this cannot be done without a data base of
members which details demographics and membership analysis. The party has
also learnt that there is a relationship between performance of elected officials
and retention of their seats; that is why particular emphasis has been put on
research, policy development, messaging and strategy. In particular, this plan
places an emphasis on addressing key concerns in the operating environment
that call for social and economic justice, in addition to continuous institutional
development of the party. Given the dynamic political environment in Uganda,
this plan will be reviewed annually and revised where need arises.
Once again we shall call upon the commitment and goodwill from the entire
membership if the party is to attain its goal of taking leadership in 2016. This
time round, emphasis is put on training so that resources members can mobilize
for resources locally and internationally.

GOAL 4: FDC WILL POSITION ITSELF TO WIN THE 2016 GENERAL
ELECTIONS AT ALL LEVELS
As a political party, a key objective is to take political power. The party has
participated in two elections and in those elections has not been able to take over
political power. There is therefore need for electoral reforms such as guidelines
for the demarcation of constituencies ; different interpretations of freedom of
assembly and association; the actions of security agencies; the fusion of the
ruling party and the State are all key issues that affect the environment in which
elections are held and will need to be addressed if the 2016 elections are to be
held on a level playing field. In addition to this, the party is also cognizant of the
role that identity and ethnicity play in the politics of Uganda, as well as high
levels of voter apathy.
The FDC has had reflections on the partys performance during the 2011 elections
and discussed the effectiveness of the campaign, the messaging, the late
establishment of the campaign bureau, limitation on resources, among others as
factors that could have cost them the election. A key lesson is the need to give
adequate time and thought to designing the election campaign, and to
commence implementation of specific actions leading to the campaign in
advance. Under this goal, FDC will seek to implement actions aimed at winning
the 2016 elections at all governance levels.
