FDC Strategic Plan 2014-2018

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.
One Uganda, One People

FDC Strategic Plan 2014-2018

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.

One Uganda, One People!

GOAL 1:

FDC WILL STAND TO PROMOTE SOCIAL & ECONOMIC JUSTICE


IN UGANDA
Despite Government of Ugandas progress in fostering macro-economic stability
and providing a national policy framework that could contribute towards social
and economic development, any meaningful impact has been hampered by poor
implementation, largely due to lack of accountability. This is further exacerbated
by the entrenchment of patronage and corruption of public institutions by the
ruling NRM party. The advances in recognition and institutionalizing human rights,
first through a progressive Constitution and consequently through a plethora of
public sector institutions, has also been constrained by the poor performance of
the said institutions. The death of efficient public institutions is the core challenge
for the delivery of all public goods including access to health, education, water
and information.
Furthermore, public interest in being part of changing the status quo is minimal,
with high levels of apathy and many people having resigned themselves to the
Page 8

FDC Strategic Plan 2014-2018

status. Those who would like to take action are afraid of government repression
as demonstrated during the Walk- to Work rallies.
FDC contends that there is need for fundamental changes and shifts in the way
government is constituted and doing its business if there is to be social and
economic justice for all Ugandans.
Over the next five years, FDC will continue to promote and advocate for social
and economic justice, and work with other stakeholders and mobilize Ugandans to
demand for accountability and respect for human rights.

GOAL 2: FDC WILL DEVELOP A WELL RESOURCED PARTY WITH A VIBRANT


AND ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP
Political parties in Uganda are still in the process of being re-established after an
extensive period of being demonized and characterized as divisive. Uganda
returned to a multi-party dispensation in 2005 after a referendum, the first multiparty elections were held in 2006 and were characterized by violence and
intimidation, especially of opposition leaders and their supporters. This
experience did not bode well for political parties because the public perception
was (and still is) that opposition parties were enemies and therefore being a
member or supporter of an opposition party was considered risky. Nonetheless,
political parties continued to organize and specifically seek to build their
institutional and membership bases. Most of the opposition political parties do not
have strong structures, and many are dealing with internal challenges.
The FDC has been in existence since 2004, and in its ten years of existence, it has
participated in two presidential and parliamentary elections, held delegates
conferences, established a secretariat and sought to build structures right from
the grassroots. However, an assessment of the 2011 election indicates that the
lower level structures were not active, partly because previous emphasis has
been put on quantity as opposed to quality. Insufficient time to build systems
such as
intra and extra- communication, disciplinary committees, monitoring
and evaluation, and inadequate attempts to ensure that party members are clear
about the party ideology are all part of the challenges that the party faced in the
run up to the 2011 elections. This was in addition to time and resource
constraints. Therefore, learning from past experience, FDC would like over the
next 2-5 years, to put structures in place early and continually work to ensure
that they are active and vibrant.
Objective 1: Establishing Party Structures throughout the Country

FDC Strategic Plan 2014-2018

GOAL 3: FDC WILL ENDEAVOR TO CONSOLIDATE AND EXPAND ITS


SUPPORT BASE
The 2011 elections registered a decline in FDC support from 47% and 37% scored
in 2006 to 2011 respectively. Since its formation in 2004, the FDC has contested
in two presidential and parliamentary elections. The decline in 2011 elections as
witnessed was a result of widespread intimidation, election malpractice and
rigging. Earlier, a number of concerns had been raised about the ECs
performance during the 2006 elections especially its capacity to manage
elections efficiently. The courts expressed concern about the disenfranchisement
of voters who did not have their names on the voters register, and noted
irregularities in the counting and tallying of votes cast. These anomalies have
been further confirmed by the admission of the renegade General David Sejusa
in exile that the military doctored the results in favor of the incumbent before the
electoral commission received them. In addition, a continuous challenge that the
party has found, is the perception of Ugandans that the opposition is an enemy of
the Government.
During the 2011 elections, the opposition parties had formed an alliance, and
invested some resources to develop campaign structures. FDC held a delegates
conference and invested in a media campaign in the run up to the elections. The
FDC presidential candidate was also able to draw huge crowds that gave the
impression of the party gaining support and that its message was resonating with
the public. However,
when the final results came in, the FDC presidential
candidate had got 27% and FDC candidates had decreased from 38 to 34. The
key strongholds in the north and eastern parts of Uganda were lost, resulting in a
thin spread of victories throughout the country. Research done by Synovate
shows that the partys key support was amongst men, with 54% and youth, with
50%
The February 2011 elections, although largely peaceful, were marred by poor
preparation by the Electoral Commission, delays in the passing of electoral laws.
This was in addition to the monetization of the elections, a culture of impunity,
and lack of appreciation of peaceful multi-party competition. All these factors
greatly affected the electoral process creating voter apathy amongst the
populace and lower voter turnout.
All the above factors affected support for the FDC, however in retrospect; the
party realized that there are also internal areas in which it could have done better.
Under this goal, the party will carry out initiatives that will seek to ensure that it
consolidates and broadens its support

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.
